The Watchmaker’s Son

The Watchmaker’s Son is an excellent short film from Whitestone Motion Pictures.  It won the Crystal Heart Award for Dramatic Short Film at the Heartland Film Festival which wraps up this week.  This is a wonderful example of the art of storytelling at it’s best.  Take a look:

Although we may be filmmakers by trade, we are storytellers by nature.
Venture into our world and let us weave a tale for you. We will tell
you about life and love and fear and pain. We will show you laughter
and tears, the devil and God. The story is the lifeblood of our world
and nothing matters more.
…So lean close, and let us tell you a story.

I really enjoyed this film and the questions it raised in my own mind about the lengths we go to to gain approval and acceptance from others…even the lengths we go to trying to gain our Heavenly Father’s acceptance…while we miss out on the importance of building relationship.
