Being a documentary filmmaker has been such a blessing, far beyond the obvious creative benefits of knowing that you are actually making a difference. I have always aimed to make a positive impact in this world around me, whether it was simply through my actions or with a camera in my hand.

Working on the Camp Good Grief project was no different. Working alongside the San Bernardino County District Attorney and Loma Linda University Children's Hospital was a powerful experience, because these are the individuals who are making an impact on the lives of these children.

I can't imaging what it must be like to lose a loved one to a violent death or suicide, and from the countless hours I spent with the children at camp and in their homes, I know that grieving is a long and difficult process.

I gained so much strength from the children I spoke to. Their courage and willingness to move on despite the tragedies in their lives is a testament to not only their strong wills but, as they will readily admit, to the power of this camp.
