--"The Anglophile Channel had a great time covering a red carpet event produced by Pamela Arlene Events and featuring a 16-year old UK born, now LA-student and first time filmmaker, Riley Beres, who (along with Co-producer Jimmy Deshler (Rafe on General Hospital)) made, Hope For Their Own: An LA Story, a poignant film about homelessness and the prejudices society associates with it. Impressive and inspirational! Thank you for inviting The Anglophile Channel to this exciting night! -- Anglophile TV.

--""I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the final product of Hope for Our Own. " -- E.E.
--"I was so impressed with your documentary. I attended the Warner Grand showing last night and frankly came with a little prejudice about a “high school” film. I was amazed at what I saw. It was so professional. The film was engaging, inspiring and emotional. It touched everyone in the audience." -- Auther remains anonimous
--"thankful we are at the Mission for the incredible amount of work that was put into putting the Hope for our own documentary together. ( my wife ) and I thought that the film was incredibly inspiring and well done. What resonated with me was the obvious labor of love that was shown in the editing and production work on the film! " -- member of Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission
--" I just want to take a minute to recognize your creation of the film, "Hope For Our Own", and thank you for tackling such a serious issue. Your choice to do this is an honorable one." -- Harry
