Ultralite Films was honored to be part of a very meaningful project recently: The JFK Unspoken Speech Project. Joey Arcisz, Ultralite Films director and DP, was involved in creating two of the seven films.
Words Alone.
THESE WORDS FROM JFK'S 1963 UNSPOKEN SPEECH, ARE PRESENTED AS A TRIBUTE TO JFK, FROM THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
"Above all, words alone are not enough. The United States is a peaceful nation. And where our strength and determination are clear, our words need merely to convey conviction, not belligerence. If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help."
Special thanks to British Cellist Caroline Dale and The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra for their generosity in recording the music for Words Alone. Composed especially for Unspoken Speech by Composer Matthew Slater.
Thanks also go to Owen Hannay; CEO of Slingshot, Doug Bryan; CEO of Post Op and Calvin Carter; CEO of Bottle Rocket for allowing us to come into their companies and film their people, in addition to the many people across Dallas who also allowed us to take their images.

Dissident Voices.
THESE WORDS FROM JFK'S 1963 UNSPOKEN SPEECH, ARE PRESENTED AS A TRIBUTE TO JFK, FROM PHOTOGRAPHY STUDENTS AT THE TEXAS WOMAN'S UNIVERSITY, DALLAS. ASSISTED BY THREE GUEST PHOTOGRAPHERS.
"There will always be dissident voices heard in the land, expressing opposition without alternatives, finding fault but never favor, perceiving gloom on every side and seeking influence without responsibility. Those voices are inevitable."
Special thanks go to The Union Cafe on Dyer Street for allowing us to film in their cafe. (http://uniondallas.net). And to their many patrons who allowed us to film them.
