Richard Rossi and Emma Pearson in Lucy and the Lake Monster (2024)
Trailer for "Lucy & the Lake Monster," the story of an eight-year-old orphan girl named Lucy, (Emma Pearson) on a search for a lake monster named Champ in Lake Champlain, which borders N.Y. & Vermont. She battles bullies & mercenary villains out for a quick fortune, and finds inspiration to overcome obstacles through the love of her grandfather, who she calls "Papa" (Richard Rossi). Lucy & Papa set sail on their rickety rowboat, (named "Gramp's Boat") & their journey to find "Champ" the sea serpent becomes a spiritual allegory that helps audiences overcome challenges in their own lives as Lucy does on-screen. Lucy learns that sometimes the things you can't see are some of the most lasting and important, like love, faith, and magic.

    I loved the movie, very well directed and excellent script. Lucy was amazing!

    Emma Pearson did an amazing job. I loved the movie and I was able to see Champ in one of the scenes!! Pay attention to the water on the lower right section!!

    The script was fun and was able to keep our entire family engaged. The budget was low for this production but they managed to pull something really nice. I would definitely would recommend this movie to parents and kids. After watch it I got some interest in learning more about the story of Champ. Maybe this can be the first of many more movies it.

    Lastly, I cant wait until the film is presented to film festivals and we can find it in the movie theaters.

    Great Story to Reflect on

    This is a story with some sweet and relatable themes for today. One of my favorite quotes was, the church is supposed to build bridges but often is a barrier. While the corporate "church" culture discourages questions, the grandpa encourages it. Definately one of the most beautiful messages is how important it is to feel like you can be yourself. I feel the heart of this film is definately that its important to have a childlike attitude and tender heart when approaching life, which the grandpa encourages. The grandpa definately makes a difference between childish and childlike, the grandpa has some deep wise messages to convey in the film.

    Keeps you smiling...

    Fills you with delight and wonder. A happy story that makes you smile over and over again. The characters are authentic and fun to follow. Oh, the scenery and music brings you into the story.

    Embracing the genuine feelings of wonder we had in our youth. Believe, follow your heart. You never know what you will find.

    The film that won't disappoint and worth seeing for sure!! A gift for all ages to enjoy. Treat yourself and those you love to this wonderful movie.

    Thank you for the dream, direction and production of this heartfelt work of art. Your dedication and hard work is very much appreciated.

    Believe

    Great movie , very well done , great life lessons shared by papa ,really enjoyed it , little Lucy was a priceless gem , dreams that are anchored to eternal truth become visions of grace .

    I was reminded of the power of prayer , that enables us to see through the eyes of faith .

    We all need mentors who reflect the love of God as they see us with his eyes .

    Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not into your own understanding , in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path .

    Looking forward to other Eternal Grace productions that continue to reflect Gods love .

    It's not entertainment that we need ,but enterchangement , that which by grace enters to transform and change the heart to reflect Gods heart as He fills us with his merciful love .

    Keep following your King Jesus , the way the truth and the life .

    Shalom.

    • Quotes

      Lucy: Well, I asked two questions. My first question was, if God made the world, who made God?

      Papa: That's a really good question. What did she say?

      Lucy: Don't interrupt, Lucy. And the next question was, if God knew that the snake was evil, why didn't He protect Adam and Eve?

      Papa: Wow. I've wondered that, too. What did she say?

      Lucy: She didn't say anything. She just kicked me out.

      Papa: Listen to me, sweetheart. I want you to know something. God never kicks you out of His family, and not all churches and people are like that, okay?

      Lucy: Okay.
