Absolutely stunning cinematography and storytelling, congrat's on such an fantastic achievement. Everybody in front and behind the camera (music score included!) really delivered their best and it shows..... in spades.

I saw this when it was competing on the Doorpost Project. Amazing work all around, and Nick Vujicic has some very impressive acting skills.

Oh, and glad it's on Vimeo now. :-)

Beautiful, realy amazing. the story is the best i've seen so far from the video's that make you think differently, more positive. There's always a road, no matter how much you need to pass or cross. In here, in Holland, we say: there are thousend ways to Rome. Meaning there are a thousend ways to achieve your goal. After i've seen this I say to myself: there are uncountable ways to Rome.
You guys opened my eyes, thank you.
