"When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people." --Abraham Joshua Heschel

My Father's Gift

'Gift' is a short film that conveys a profound message on the importance of giving, and the true value of wealth. It illustrates how we touch others when we selflessly give of our time, love and kindness. 'Gift' is about a boy who grew up believing that his father was poor, unintelligent and unsuccessful. After his father's death however, the son discovers the true reach of his parent's generosity, and just how much joy he brought to others. He finally comes to understand the truth of his father's words: "Being rich is not about how much you have, but how much you can give."
