We did it!
Many, many thanks to everyone who gave time, resources, and effort to make this project a reality. Paul and I are deeply grateful to each one of you… without you this would never have been completed.
To God be the glory…

Absolutely fantastic. Great score, Great mood and feeling, Beautiful transitions to/from the musicians and story line. You guys pulled all the emotions into this piece. The young ladies acting in this were excellent. You could read their thoughts perfectly from their facial expressions and body language. The audience will be very well connected and engaged.
Nothing greater can be said other than…Well Done ladies and gentlemen…WELL DONE !

Wow looks like it would be cool.
I Can’t watch it right now. Why is there a double for the “older sister”???? Was there a cool “jumping of the canyon of doom” thing that was to dangerous to make the real actress do? 
. Hope you do well!!!
God bless you all

“Jumping of the canyon of doom”… now why didn’t we think of that?
I concur with Alex that all the glory goes to God, Him, and nothing else.

looked like the double for the ‘older sister’ was walking a little funny.. did her feet hurt from the “jumping of the canyon of doom” thing that didn’t make the score or was it the shoes?

Congratulations!
The double of the “older sister” was wearing Graces (the “older sister”) shoes, which I think were a little smaller than her shoes, btw.

Yeah, the shoes were two sizes too small for Gabrielle. =D
Great job ya’ll! We loved it!

Awwwww. It almost made me cry. Great job, everyone. One thing I’m wondering… well, a couple things. I thought you were going to get rid of the spots on the camera lens in the piano scene? And what’s wrong with Mr. Cordray’s face? =)
Canyon of doom…. sounds epic. Lol.
I echo everyone else in saying- glory to God!!

I’m working on the spots on the lens. Initial testing indicates they’ll come out… we just couldn’t do it in the short time frame.

That was really good, y’all! I really like the fact that you had the whole orchestra outside. Very cool!
I especially like the shot of the feet at the very end!
Great job all!

I think a little bit of “canyon of doom” bungee jumping couldn’t hurt. Add more excitement.

It brought tears to my eyes. Some lose their children’s hearts for all eternity…It’s so sad. This story has a happy ending.
Good work. I can’t wait to see your next work.
