Description


The 15 minute silent film about a man, Jack, who is broke and hungry, sets out to find food. He gets food by helping someone, then works for more food as a trade, and receives concrete gratification. He comes across other people throughout the day who are in need of some form of help, which he provides, in return they offer trades, and exchange gratitude. Jack realizes that "a life helping others is a life worth living".

It's a film that expresses "actions speak louder than words". It starts black and white, but color comes in little by little throughout the film to show the fulfillment in Jack's life. It ends in all color to show the bright, colorful, and gracious life he has after a day of helping others, and receiving trades for the things he needs. Money is never exchanged, and becomes a non-issue.



Our focus for the film is to show people how we should learn to help each other to receive what we need out of life, and then be grateful for their help, and the life you are living because of returned favors. Money should not keep us from changing the world for the better. We as humans can continue to hurt each other, and destroy everything, or we can do what we are meant to do, and sustain a great life cycle, and spread it across the universe.

"In fifteen minutes, I saw a story told with no words. It's simple, it's sweet and it shows that one person can have a huge impact on the world. 'Thank You' has left an impression on me and I hope to see more in the future."
