Everywhere you go heads are down with faces not engaged in one another which brings forth the question, ‘Where are we leading the next generation?’

Anxiety and narcissism are at the height of their existence, while Gen Z has never known life without iPhone in hand, internet, and social networks. The experiment with technology is happening right now and most of us – especially teens – do not even know they are in it.

selfless opens conversation to the ever growing epidemic with selfies, social media and technology and how it is affecting us body, mind, and soul.

This story pushes away doom and gloom offering a bright, beautiful film filled with messages of hope as we navigate this challenging time we live in.

Director’s Message

How wonderful you are here learning more about selfless.

I feel concern as a woman and a mom about what is happening in the world and how darkness is working so hard to put out the light.

Not knowing where to begin with this ever growing epidemic with selfies, social media and technology. I decided to push away the doom and gloom and create a project which offers hope, for people to navigate this challenging time we live in.

selfless has grown far past any expectations and is true testament to the power of the Holy Spirit moving the Human Spirit. My hope has always been for this film to inspire people to look up and be present in the moment because life is precious, don’t miss it.

This story was placed on my heart to find wings to fly and I am so pleased it has found its way to you. Please feel free to reach out and share how selfless has imprinted upon you.
