The Christmas Bus is short but it’s incredibly powerful. I felt kinda ridiculous but I actually teared up at this. Lonely people are everywhere and many would like to have friendship, some kind of human connection but they can’t find it. This film really makes you think how just one act of kindness can cause others. Those two young ladies came on the bus cheerfully singing and even though many didn’t respond initially, seeing how everyone eventually let their guard down and allowed themselves to enjoy other people – I love that. This is a wonderful, really moving little film.
Thanks for the kind words. I never would have guessed that my 16mm films would bring such life lessons in today’s world but compassion for others is so important right now.
