Why I Made This Documentary Short
I empathized greatly with the concept of finding a place of nature for spiritual replenishment. And I deeply appreciated the conceptual juxtaposition of a church being adjacent to a park. The two compliment each other so well. I have personally always found more spiritual fulfillment in Mother Nature, whether it be in a National Park like Yosemite or in a small arboretum like the one at St. Paul’s Orthodox Church. In a sense, it’s like being closer to God.
