Shouting Secrets

Last year I was an honoree and a teacher at the Big Island Film Festival. I am a story/career consultant for writers. I went to see a majority of the films while I was there. There was a major buzz going around the festival about "Shouting Secrets" even before it played. I went to see it. I've worked in the entertainment business for over 20 years. I can honestly say that I think this movie made me feel more than any movie that I've seen in years. I laughed and I cried. I connected with the story on every level. The audience laughed and cried. It was such a pleasurable experience to see a film of this caliber at a festival. I think we all knew that there was something special going on with this film. It is one that I will never forget. For me, I think that "Shouting Secrets" parallels with "The Descendents" on many levels conceptually. However, for me, it is a stronger film. I understood and rooted for the journey much more. I was connected to the outcome. I LOVE this movie!

Shouting Secrets has all of the ingredients that makes for a great movie . . . it makes you laugh, it makes you cry and, most of all, it has characters that everyone can identify with in their lives. The acting in this film is award-winning and the cinematography is beautiful. The film has won multiple awards in the many film festivals for which it has been selected, often times becoming the Audience Favorite award-winner. The story is one that shows a family facing struggles - many of which we have all gone through ourselves. The use of Native American people also gives a unique blend of old traditions with new. A must-see film.

This movie is fabulous, it makes you laugh, it makes you cry, and it makes you want to go home and call your family just to say hello and I love you!!! I have not enjoyed a family film this much in a long time. The acting was superb, the scenery was eye opening, and the reality of the situation hits home for so many families. I cant wait for it to come out on the big screen so my family can enjoy going and watching it in Colorado. My friend and I both felt that it was well written, well put together, and we enjoyed it immensely. Kudos to Korrina for an excellent job of directing it.

A must see!! Made me cry several times which is a good indicator that it is a great movie. The only downfall to this movie is it is not on DVD/blu-ray, which I prefer. Rent it or buy it on Amazon Prime it is well worth it!!

First let me say I loved this film!

Director Korinna Sehringer tells the story with grace, compassion, and humor. For a first-time director, she knocks it out of the park. This wonderful glimpse inside Native American culture is a breath of fresh air and adds poignant nuance to a film that sets it apart from the pack. The acting is effortless by many in the cast. The story is enhanced by the beautiful landscapes of Arizona, making nearly every frame a visual treat. I left the theater with a humbled sense of compassion for my own family, which is not easy to do! Director Korinna Sehringer has a very bright future ahead of hear. I look forward to seeing her next picture.
