A NOTE TO YOU FROM THE FILMMAKER
HEART OF NOW is a quiet and understated motion picture that explores the inclination to define ourselves by the people who leave us. Amber is a young woman with a profound longing for a sense of family. When she discovers she is pregnant, her boyfriend withdraws and moves out while her closest friends insist that she get an abortion. Abandoned at each turn, Amber willfully seeks a safe haven in Gabe – the father-figure that left her and her dying mother a decade ago.
I was nineteen when my father died and we had a great deal of unfinished business between us. This film grew out of unsettled emotions and the distress I felt from being left by someone who I hadn’t known life without. This motion picture is a love letter to him, allowing me to say that I forgive him for his faults and hope to free myself from the influence of his absence.
HEART OF NOW is the result of an interdependent film collaboration among several artists that worked together in a creatively safe atmosphere where exploration was encouraged at every level of the filmmaking process. Through dramatic improvisation, the actors were empowered to find their voice and use their own words wherever possible under the guidance of the director. The result departs from what was written in the screenplay, revealing a more honest experience for the characters and filmmakers behind them. The attribute of “a film by SABI” honors this journey by crediting authorship to the entire Sabi Pictures family of filmmakers and actors who achieved what none of us could have done alone.
My sincerest thanks,
Zak Forsman
