“My god, this is an amazing idea! I love the concept, and I’m sure every educator will tell you that. I feel this would be like a wake up call to everybody.”
Daniel Roussos, Director of Center for Global Children:
“I admire your patience, dedication, and fortitude — and I hope that these virtues will be rewarded both in Bulgaria and in Reggio.”

“ . . . this overwhelming success [of the Inclusion Series] is due to the Comfortys’ sensitivity and creative talents as filmmakers. Motivational power is one of their greatest strengths, and it makes its mark in all of their films . . . they give of themselves to their projects. . . . It is also a result of the precision with which they craft each film. Videos we do together are never cliched, slick or superficial. Without fail, each video works extremely effectively at both the dramatic and the educational levels.”
Barbara B. Toney, Public Information Specialist, the Illinois State Board of Education’s Project CHOICES.
“The film is amazing!!! Unbelievable quality!!! You successfully wove humanity, pragmatism, love and reasonability. Congratulations.”
Veselina Ivanova, Director of Special Events, Varna Department of Education, Bulgaria.
“Jacky Comforty is an artist that creates something out of nothing. His work has depth. Jacky created for us videos about people with disabilities who were victims of sexual violence. The production required great sensitivity and communication skills with respect to the people with disabilities and the professionals. The movies are very valuable for communities, families and professionals. They enact an emotional and cognitive experience that fulfills exactly the purpose of the videos. Without Jacky’s qualities as an artist, videographer, director, producer, and psychologist, the film would not have been complete.
