"When I say this project could not have been done without Walter Collins, I mean it. When we approached Walter about joining us as editor on our documentary UNFIT: Ward vs. Ward I dont think any of us knew just how long we would be together on this roller coaster. Yet Walter was there through the end. He knew this was more than just a film, it was about righting a wrong and he really became a voice for the woman who this documentary was about. He brought more than just his editing skills to the project. He brought thoughtful ideas, new approaches and insight, a passion for truth and justice, and a wealth of past experience. I am proud to say that there is so much of Walter in the final project and his stamp is on this film in so many ways. His participation was invaluable..”
“I had a ton of footage from my live Silver Tour shows and piles of great medical clips and press interviews. I quickly realized, at a minimum, I would need a first class editor. I put the word out to my many friends in the film industry and one name kept coming back. Get Walter J. Collins! Walter was the best thing that happen to me and my project, "Should Grandma Smoke Pot?". He quickly took charge and created a a finished show so far above my expectations, that I felt compelled to see that he got credit as Co-producer. Walter and Maritza were very much my partners in producing "Should Grandma Smoke Pot?". The show was so excellent, that the chief counsel of one of the biggest broadcast groups, said he had never seen an "issues show" done so well and with such class.”
