Films like this remind me why I have such a soft spot in my heart for Gloucesteroni. Viva San Pietro!

I Love this to depths I cannot express in words but actions......Greasy Pole is the place many great times have been had...If you don’t know now you know....!!! VIVA SAN PIETRO!!! Your response is VIVA until your wee skull hurts from yelling so hard. You have captured the essence of that event in film. Bravo!

This is just another example of the fantastic quality work by this team of artists.
They pulled an incredible amount of people together in a short period of time to capture the Hope and Fear of the Greasy Pole competitors.
Great work. Thank you so much.

I'm a family friend of Joe Palmisano. Great work! Hope to make Fiesta this year!

HOPE AND FEAR
You guys nailed it with the greasy pole.You hope you can win it and you fear you don't get hurt doing it.

I lost out to you on the sports genre with my submission. Cant think of a better flim to loose to! I grew up in Newport, RI and have lived all over the country. I have never met any group of people anywhere in the four corners of this country and in between who are more naturally interesting and real than northeasterners, specifically new england. Loved it.
here was my submission that competed against yours:

Joe Palmisano is my Gloucester guy! I miss Gloucester so much and love coming to Fiesta every year with my husband. My sister is a "fort girl" - Theresa Gray. I'm her little sister, Susanna (Soog). Miss you all, what an unbelievable job on this documentary. very proud. Gloucester pride!

Thank you all for your votes and comments. It was a lot of fun making this film and it couldn't have been made with out the help of friends and family.
THANKS!

Thank you so much for such a fantastic response!! It feels really good to have made something that so many people connect with. VIVA SAN PIETRO!!

AWESOME WORK GUYS!!! Papows, glad to see you back up in it! TOTALLY SICK NASTY!

This is a great documentary that makes me proud to be from Gloucester and proud of what my Uncle "Matza" has accomplished

We as a country have lost many of the old coming of age trials such as the greasy pole, where men can test their mettle, show their valor and be carried through the streets the hero of the day. This film has captured something of the old world, something that is essential to the core of man and that is a treasure unfathomable.

Great Job Emile & Co. This is really a good little doc. Good luck to you. There are great films here. You should be proud to be in this company and to have one of the finest of the bunch.
