    Sedona, AZ — 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.

    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.

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
