Mentoring is one of the joys of life for Drs. Jay and Meridel Rawlings. Their home and studio is often a ‘stopping’ place for young men. Creativity lives at this address, and young people are encouraged to ‘reach for the sky’: ‘to be all they can be’. It is a ‘safe place’ where ideas are permitted to abound. Ideas and hard work. The short film you are about to see was entered into a world wide ‘You Tube’ contest. The theme had to reflect one’s city and nation.
Beauty shots of Israel make up a beautiful backdrop to this unassuming tale of ‘loneliness’. The story line was conceptualized by Michael Hildsden and his bride Becky. Love came to life under the able hands of three friends. Michael asked Daniel Rawlings to produce, while Paul Chobaniuk added the art direction with Michael Hilsden directing and doing camera work. Thanks go to many others who worked on the project. May this be the first of many. It won 3rd place in the Neumannfilms “Summer In”~Short Film Competition. Congrats guys and Becky of course. Hope you enjoy!
