1ST TIME FILMMAKER
This 26 minute narrative short tells the true story of my journey from domestic violence to freedom. The journey is metaphorical but the events that led to me finally escaping my abusive situation are very real. It is told in a powerful and engaging way, and the purpose is to help others who are being abused to summons the courage to escape from violence and choose freedom for lives. Especially women of faith. My faith background is rooted in Christianity, and unfortunately there are leaders in the Christian church who are encouraging women to pray harder, have more faith, and stay in an abusive marriage in order to 'save the marriage.' This may sound absurd but it is a reality. In my work with women all over the globe, I have found this to be a universal phenomenon. This film is a rebuttal to that preaching and although it should not be controversial, it is. A second purpose is to bring understanding to those who have painfully watched someone they love remain in a violent relationship. Although the subject matter is serious, the film is inspiring, hopeful, and uplifting. Everyone loves a great ending and this film ends in triumph!

This is the story of those who live on an island in the middle of a lake. In the movie which tells that the life—even during childhood, youth and old age—does not change for this island and its residents, the time is depicted as a static phenomenon. The island never changes; no one leaves/can leave there even though years show them the reality called “death”. They dream about the things beyond the lake; these dreams are like meaningful journeys to them. They think of being somewhere else, in other places, maybe in different lives; however, they are knotted onto that island from cradle to grave just as their boats they knot on the dock at the end of every workday.
