What a delightful surprise to come across this incredible painting by Greg Breda, shown below next to the still that inspired it of Tereek in Feeling Through.
This painting is aptly titled "You'll be ok" after the line the Artie writes to Tereek at the climax of the film.
Thanks @CortiSonanti for Best Director 🏆
"@dougroland directs an exciting & very genuine short film, an ode to kindness. Words & communication are important & even when it seems impossible, Doug is able to lead two actors in reminding us it flawlessly."
