I can’t think of a better way to break my no-site-updates streak than to feature photos of beautiful women. Even better when one of them is my wife. These photos are from the 2011 Glamour Reel Moments premier.
For those not familiar with this event: “Glamour Reel Moments brings Hollywood’s leading female talent to take a turn behind the camera, directing a short film inspired by real-life story submissions from Glamour readers.” Three stories were made into films and all three writers were treated to the red carpet treatment at the premier in Hollywood this past Monday night (Oct 23).
Suzanne’s story “Free Hugs” was made into a short film written and directed by Olivia Wilde, and was about the experience she shared with a few friends giving away hugs on a street corner in San Diego.
View the short film in its entirety below, and be sure to check out all three films. They are all great, as was meeting and getting to know the writers of the other two films.
I enjoyed the short film “Free Hugs”. The story expresses the need for all humans to experience the human touch. That we all need human contact. This is what validates us and connects us to one another and to the world. What was touching about this story, was the generosity of the group of people willing to give to those they did not know. The change they could make in a persons life. We must teach or children to have empathy and to think of others. Until we do, we won’t be able to live in peace. The film gives us hope that we can accomplish this.
Great job Suzanne!
P.S. You look marvelous!
