Kimberly
An inspirational short film that will allow the audience to go from her darkest moment to experience an encounter with God. Anne Frank’s message is about seeing the world through the eyes of hope despite what life brings.
This film’s aim is to inspire each viewer to know that their voice in the world matters. That even though you might not know the impact you make, you do make a immeasurable difference and you have a choice, will you have faith in humanity in spite of life circumstances?
Can Anne Frank’s message leap into the soul of our consciousness, so that we live unafraid?
Her journey becomes a metaphor for anyone that has ever felt alone, or known despair, or experienced hardship, to feel assurance that there is a light that walks with us at all times, and that we are always loved.
I hope you will join us on this journey…
The Impact
All three of AFMG’s producers’ fathers served in WWII, imparting a personalized experience of the war on their daughters. Peggy Lane’s father, Dennis “Bud” O’Rourke, served in the U.S. Army division that helped liberate the Concentration Camp at Dachau; Serena Tarica’s father, Dr. Samuel Tarica, was a Navy electrician; and Kimberly Jentzen’s father, Dr. Edward Spingeld, served as an aviation mechanic. Kimberly’s father grew up with poet, David Epstein (who served in the Army Air Corps during WWII) at the Jewish Home for Children in New Haven, Connecticut.
The Anne Frank Estate shared with Epstein, whose poem “A Conversation: Anne Frank Meets God” inspired the project, that they look forward to the film!
