The Living Story Behind the Book
A cinematic micro-documentary series following one father's journey through love, loss, faith, and purpose, revealing the memories, moments, and legacy that inspired the upcoming book, Father of Dreams.
Father of Dreams began as one father's desire to preserve those memories and honor the extraordinary life of his son, CJ. What started as a personal journey of reflection became a powerful story about love, loss, faith, resilience, and the enduring impact of a child whose legacy continues to inspire others.
These short cinematic episodes serve as windows into the memories, moments, and milestones that shaped the pages of Father of Dreams. Each episode stands on its own while contributing to a larger story that unfolds over time. The documentary series is not designed to summarize the book. It is designed to bring the book to life.
