    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival presents “Before We Say Goodbye” on Monday, Dec. 9 at 4:00 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “Before We Say Goodbye” is the story of a devout Hispanic-American mother in New Mexico who is desperately praying for a miracle from the Virgin of Guadalupe as her only hope to save her terminally ill husband. As she seeks family support for her faith, she feels anguish at how her four grown children are turning away from their Catholic upbringing as they go about their busy lives in our secular, modern culture.

    Written and directed by Paul Davids, “Before We Say Goodbye” is based on an award-winning stage play by Patricia Crespin, “We Are Hispanic-American Women… Okay?”  The film features outstanding music, including the title song “Before We Say Goodbye” written and performed by Rebekah del Rio, noted for her role as a singer in the David Lynch film “Mulholland Drive.”

    The climax that was filmed by the Davids at the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico City is unforgettable, as the sensitive story shows us there is always a light in our lives, if we keep looking for it.  It is touching, powerful and inspiring — a profound film that makes you laugh and cry and a story even for those who are skeptical that miracles are possible. The wisdom that the film offers is that the miracle one hopes and prays for may not turn out to be the miracle one actually receives.

    Critic Pete Hammond of Deadline and Box Office Magazine says this is “a special and heartfelt achievement not to be missed.”

    The screening on Dec. 9 is just a few days before Catholics in the Southwest US and in Mexico celebrate the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

    There will be a Q & A after the screening with Paul and Hollace Davids, whose many films have been shown by SIFF in the past 18 months, including “The Life After Death Project,” “Marilyn Monroe Declassified,” “The Sci-Fi Boys” and “Jesus in India.”

    “Before We Say Goodbye” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Monday, Dec. 9 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.

    Hey Papi
    Happy Father’s Day Papi!

    How’s it going up there in heaven? It’s Father’s Day here on Earth, and I’m thinking of you—missing you—now that I’m one year older than you were when you passed away. I just want to thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Thank you for helping me walk when I couldn’t walk. Thank you for making me strong against all adversity. Thank you for teaching me how to look behind the scenes and see what’s not being shown.
