What is their why?
“The story of how my grandparents met and maintained a marriage of over 50 years has always fascinated me. This film was produced during a two week period I spent with Noreen after Dean’s passing. It felt important to me to record her story while I still had the opportunity, and there was something about that particular moment in time, when Noreen was transitioning into a new stage in life after the loss of such a profound relationship, that perfectly held the emotional complexity of life, love, and loss all at once.”

Can a simple song, like the one that reminds Noreen of what she had and how lucky she was to have it, be enough to find closure after losing someone you love? Can you imagine how you might forward after such a loss? Despite the pain of today, would you be able to see the potential for healing and hope tomorrow?
