The Finding Papa Movie

"I'm still blown away.  Trying to describe your story to my husband, I realized was impossible. People must watch it. And surprisingly, they do not need to know you to find this film incredibly compelling.  I'd love to watch this again. There are so many compelling moments. I want to bring my friends!"  - R.R.

  "Thank you for putting together a wonderful, moving, and sometimes humorous documentary, taking us into your personal and family space and allowing us to think about our own personal journey. It was a very noble and profound way of honoring your father who    was so talented in many ways. Tremendous work on the documentary!  Looking forward to your next film work, following your father's footsteps."  - J.M.

 "I was in tears. Your film was so beautiful. I particularly liked (how it) transformed to a Hollywood ending. How profound! The fact that you both loved your father so much shows up in who you are. When we are lost all we need is to remember good feelings and suffused focus that wraps us when we are filled with love."  - J.H.

"It was an excellent film which reflects your love and affection for your Papa. Superb job! I am sure he was with you and your sister in the journey of making this film. While watching the film, much of the content I teach to students such as meaning-making came into my thoughts. There is so much this film presents more than what the textbooks teach. Thanks for sharing your loving memories via film."  - E.K.

"This was such an awesomely impactful movie! The film completely sucked me in. It gave me the opportunity to gain a little more understanding of how I’m able to move through situations of death & grief. I sincerely did enjoy 'Finding Papa.'  The sad part was learning that it wouldn’t be shown again & if I wanted to see it, I’d have to find out where it is being featured in New York."  - C.A.

"The movie was an unforgettable experience for me. It was a rollercoaster of emotions that made me cry, laugh, and eager to watch it again. As someone who recently lost a parent, I felt an immediate connection to the story, and it resonated with me deeply. The sisters' journey filled with twists and turns, and their determination to find closure was inspiring. 'Finding Papa' was an incredible movie that left a lasting impression on me. It reminded me that seeking answers and closure is important and that we should never give up on our quest for the truth."  - S.O.

"I haven't stopped thinking about your film.  It honestly was cathartic and lovely and a gift.  Your storytelling skills, the development and the equal amounts of vulnerability and humor.  I have told everyone that I know about it.  I was raving about it yesterday and wish my fiancé could have seen it.  I would love to share it." - C.J. 

 "It truly was fabulous. Moving, heartfelt, funny.  So many universal thoughts and feelings. Loved it. It should go far!"  - K.B.
