Director Statement

What is L.O.V.E. to YOU?
Sometimes in our saddest moments we are blessed to be introduced to our own true meaning of L.O.V.E. It could be the strumming of a guitar, watching people dance in the street, a kiss on the cheek, or truly seeing the sunset for the first time. L.O.V.E. is all around us. We just have to pay attention.
