We want our audience to walk away feeling hopeful.

We are in collective pain. Here in America mass shootings have become absurdly normalized.
We forget which grocery store, which concert, which elementary school, which community has endured unspeakable loss.
Fear, anger and heartache descends upon each of us repeatedly - so much so that we are numb.
Our aim is to create a timeless short film that encourages us to grieve and embrace hope.
Grieving is critical for healing.
Healing is critical to the spirit of hope.
