“Dear Shane” - Dare to be moved?

The other day I was looking for something new to watch on Hulu.  I came across this short film and was all excited as it looked like it would be about photography.  Little did I know, it was about so much more than just that.

Written by Dustin Ballard and Ryan Dunlap and also directed by Dunlap, “Dear Shane”, is an emotionally moving short film that left me with one thought.  “Wow.”  I sat silent for a few moments after watching it.  The ending had me stunned.  The music, photography, story are all so strong that you can feel the film pulling the emotion out of you.

“It’s not the houses you lived in.  The buildings you worked at.  Or the things you owned.  Heirlooms will end up in yard sales.  In the end, it’s the people you love.  Your friends.  Your family.  Those matter.  You matter.”

Those are great words for us all to live by.
