"I saw this film at the NYLA International Film Festival in Los Angeles. It was one of the most beautiful films I have seen in a long time. And that goes for anything I have seen out here in Hollywood. Hopefully this will become a feature to be distributed on a world wide level."
Tony Salantri, Filmmaker, Los Angeles


"I talk about you often...how exquisite your film looked, how it is a story akin to “It’s a wonderful life”, yet contemporary..."

Susan Johnston, Founder/Director, New Media Film Festival

"This film is simply amazing. Thank you for submitting!"

STORY


“Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles isn't a realist”— Billy Wilder.
A quirk of fate leads Luke Hallow to risk violating his parole and losing his newly-won freedom. He has to save the life of his nine-year-old daughter, Noel, who urgently needs a donor heart. Only a miracle can keep him from losing everything...forever.
