Stories from Silk Island - Trailer

A trailer for Stories from Silk Island. A short distance from the frenetic capital city of Cambodia, Koh Dach - or Silk Island - is its own world of farmers and floodplains; silk weavers and shortfall. It is here that EmbraceAbility has made its home, providing services aimed at empowering children with disabilities and their families to lift themselves from poverty, promoting their dignity and independence so that they may participate fully in their communities. Stories of Note presents Stories from Silk Island, a series of films that looks candidly into the eyes of Koh Dach children and into the minds of their parents, giving unique insight into a life unlike ours, and a journey with EmbraceAbility towards equality and inclusivity.

The Gift of Malawi

In June of 2019, a group of clergy and lay people from Piedmont Community Church in California journeyed to Malawi, Africa to observe supported ministries there. They visited a blind school, feeding program for widows and orphans and a hospital in addition to spending a Sunday with sister church, Kafita. Music native to Malawian spiritual culture provides the soundtrack. The film recognizes that the truest gift comes from those who have little to give.

The Girl Next Door

I made this for a local community film challenge I take part in weekly. The rules for films made that week were that it must include slow motion and you had two days to do it. This one has heavy inspiration from two scenes in the movie Hot Rod, one of my all time favorite comedies.
