    Beautiful And Inspiring

    Beautiful and inspiring! This is a film about coming to terms with your past and forgiveness that most anyone can relate to. It also deals with the painful separation of family ties due to memory loss/dementia. Very well written and directed, excellent acting and filmography...it holds your attention from start to finish. And I'm glad the Director, Steve Zambo, chose to validated my own personal opinion that God has a sense of humor. Highly recommend this movie!

    Thought provoking

    Wonderful movie that challenges you to think about why we are here on earth and gives us a peek inside our Father's heart.

    Excellent Story

    This was a real l y well done story nd script. Most of the acting was very good. Particularly, the Author, the Keeper and the star roles were acted very well. Unfortunately, the cinematography and or editing made this movie seem amateurish. The concept was great, the dilogue was so smart/witty at certain points. I really loved the characters and the story from beginning to end. It was simply dissapointing to see some of the best scenes poorly shot and some sections were so poorly edited. It would be awesome to have this story remade with no script changes, but with a more seasoned cinematographer, director and editor.
