THREE (3) SHORT FILMS
This month is a screening of three (3) short films, (about two hours), that all touch on the importance of family. These films were all official selections at our 2024 annual Great Wonders Uplift Film Fest. We hope you will help us get the word out by inviting your friends and family members to come enjoy these great inspirational and eye-opening stories.
Wisher Maddox - Directed by Oklahoma Filmmaker Dan E. Tibbs
Growing up in an orphanage, eight-year-old Maddox's sole wish is to be adopted. Thinking God sent him a sign that it would come true, he begins to notice that his wishes for others are granted, but his wish for himself is left unanswered. Frustrated with God, and conflicted with the purpose of his powers, Maddox is left to decide whether to help those he encounters or to selfishly withhold his ability out of contempt for not getting what he thinks he deserves.
Simple Mercies – Directed by Kansas filmmaker Karen Elizabeth
"With a growing concern for a neglected boy living near his foundation company, Marcus is driven to help despite the opposition of those closest to him."
Say Hello - Directed by Arkansas Filmmaker Lainee Stiver
When Carley and her fiancé, Marcus begin planning their wedding, Carley’s estranged, drug addicted mother comes to visit. This unexpected visit causes Carley to begin reliving her past, threatening any chance of reconciliation as well as her sanity. Say Hello is a narrative against cancel culture. Focusing on an interpersonal relationship, Say Hello challenges society's tendency to "cancel" people for a single mistake and pushes us to consider the need to offer second chances, even when it's hard.
