    • There is a lot of joy and love in this family and the story is infectious.

      This video does a great job of capturing the limitations Ian has but always shows how this has not stopped him from being as much of a sports jock as the rest of the family. The mixture of interview shots, closeups and day in the life sequences really draws the listener into the story.

      Well done!

    • I have known Ian for so long I can't remember. This was a wonderful glimpse into the "life of Ian". This was so well done and highlighted all of Ian's best. I will watch this over and over again!

    • Ian is a truly inspiring individual. I've know him for probably 30 years now and he always has a smile on his face. What a great feature on a terrific individual!

    • "Boo" and a perfect life. What wonderful parents who have inspired, encouraged and promoted their son's athletic life. Ian, you are a blessing to us all.

    • P.S. Whenever I feel down, I'll be able to turn "Perfect" on, and Ian's contagious persona will put my life back in perspective. You know it's a great film when you can watch it over and over and instead of tiring of it, you're moved all over again. Mia and Mike, thank you for your work. (Isn't it most rewarding when something you've worked so hard on can, even a little, change people's lives?) And to Ian, thank you for your life. Your perfect day makes ours so.

      Awesome! This little film is PERFECT! It deserves to be on PBS or some other major network! Concise but oh so moving, You're not only an artist but have real heart. You will go far.

    • I thoroughly enjoyed this "snippet" of Ian's life. I will now remember how "perfect" my life is when I get upset or depressed and feel better in an instant! I would like to see more of Ian, he is a truly wonderful human being!

    • It's about everyday real people who hasn't allowed great obstacles stop them from having a full and joyful life. This story reminds us in our ordinary life to make a difference in the world not just for us but for others too. We need more inspiration in our lives today.
