This Day Forward
 

"What if? What if we could film a movie
that truly impacted people's lives?
What if we could tell a story
that embraced an honest journey of faith?"

"Told in a naturalistic, almost Ozu-like manner, it never forces a point on you, but rather eases you gently into its spiritual dimension. The movie is a gift which will inspire me for days to come."

Hollywood Shines Light on Local Family's Story

"This Day Forward captures the ups and downs of life; the faith, family, and love that carry us through."

"You don't see films where there is no easy answer — bordering on no answer at all. There are many hidden gifts in the film. When the daughter is getting in the car to go out and not spend time with her father. She says to her mother, 'He won't even know who's there. He won't remember.' The message of the movie for me was the unspoken answer, 'But you will.' I think that's the point. If we are to be the author of our lives, we want a good story — not one where we run and hide."

"This Day Forward manages to give a sense of nobility to the challenges facing one with a terminal disease where suffering is shared with the various communities touching a person's life. The film provides a rare positive glimpse of the strength of friendship, family, and faith...each of which heals in its own way."

"This Day Forward took me on a ride of gut-wrenching sadness up to a place of strength, calm, clarity, and truth. Definitely not the ride I'd normally hop on, but the journey will always be held deep down inside as a life lesson on grace, love, and caring."
