Change for a Dollar

Sharon Wright is a name to watch. As I discern from the IMDb, she is an actress who is segueing into the worlds of writing, producing, and directing. If this is the case, I for one wish her godspeed.

This is one of the best short films I have ever seen. The storytelling -- using a total of six spoken words -- is sublime, the acting low-key and perfect, and the cinematography rode on the wings of the same angel who inspired the story. Every moment of this ten-minute film is lovely, a celebration of the power of intent, and the change that each of us could effect on the world around us every day, if only we were a bit more aware.

Rock on, whoever and wherever you are, Sharon. You done good with this one.

I can't comment highly enough about this great film. While it is only 11 minutes in length, I believe it has more significance and meaning than all of the movies which have come out of Hollywood in the past 11 years.

As a Christmas tradition, I always watch "It's a Wonderful Life" every December. After each viewing, I wish that the writers and film-makers in Hollywood could produce another film at that level of significance and greatness, a movie with a great storyline and a positive message for mankind. Sharon Wright delivers such a promise with "Change for a Dollar".

Spend 11 minutes to watch this film. It's well worth the investment.
