Ik kreeg toevallig gisteren een mailtje van de makers

Hello Freakpyromaniacs,

First of all can I say how much I enjoy your work. You have some
great movies and information.

I have just completed a short film about the firework makers of Vampa.
Vampa is a non-profit organisation on the tiny island of Gozo. Every
year they produce an incredible display on Gelmus Hill, Victoria,
Gozo.

The men of Vampa spend many hours away from their families, working in
small firework factories for much of the year. They are dedicated and
brave men.

Please take a look at the film and if you like it, it would be great
if you could circulate the link.
