Inspired by the writings of Louise L. Hay, Painting the Future reveals how the thoughts we choose create the life we live. An unlikely friendship is formed between a bitter painter who has lost his sight, and a sweet Hispanic girl, his 9 year-old neighbor, who is determined to save up for her Quincinera dress.

Watch the trailer here:


On the second floor of a low-income apartment complex lives Jonathan Page. Once an established painter, Page now lives out his bitter days terrorizing the joy of his neighbors’ lives as well as his own. From the courtyard below, nine-year-old Lupe Saldana takes notice of Jonathan. Determined to save up for a dream quinceañera dress, Lupe extends herself as hired help for all the personal errands and daily chores that Jonathan can no longer do himself. Through this proposition, a friendship begins to blossom, and Lupe’s optimistic innocence slowly breaks down the wall of Jonathan’s guarded brokenness.

Bonus material: Includes an additional hour of footage featuring Louise L. Hay and Cheryl Richardson!

It is a powerful expression of what can happen when a person holds their beliefs close to their heart and does not waiver in their conviction, despite running into adversity time and time again. What a triumph of Spirit is expressed in this tale, as well as a story about the darkness that can follow a person who is bitter and grieved over events in life. I really appreciate how well this story flows and balances so many ideas and ideals while never losing sight of the characters or story line.  CLICK HERE to read the entire review by Moving My Spirit
