Relationships are like mirrors, reflecting love and the true essence of who we are. They show us how to give and receive love, and help us understand what we want in life and who we want to be. Trusting relationships give us the space to be our true selves without fear. Through them, we learn to be authentic and accept ourselves.

But it's not just about us; relationships also teach us to treat others with kindness and compassion. Through shared experiences, we learn empathy, learning to navigate the complexities of human connection with grace and understanding. In this journey of self-discovery and mutual growth, we find that kindness not only strengthens our relationships, but also nourishes our souls, making our interactions with others richer, more meaningful, and profoundly rewarding.

Filmed in Washougal, Washington, USA.

In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
