Documentary and Testimonial

Returning Home
Promotional Video
When Morningstar Care Homes wanted to showcase their new senior living home, my filmmaking partner and I saw immediately that Dunn’s Vista was worthy of a mini-documentary. While we captured the process of building this rural care facility, we also sought to portray the hearts of the people who chose to create such a special place.
