ATLANTA, GA (May 22, 2024) - Excitement surrounds an important project currently in the works, a short film titled “The Chasm.” This film delves into the complex and often painful gap that can develop between parents and their children, especially in the aftermath of trauma.
Logline: In an attempt to heal their broken relationship, a grieving father takes his rebellious daughter on a hike to her late mother’s favorite spot, where they confront their shared grief and find a path to reconciliation.
"The Chasm, '' was written with the intention of creating healing through its impact.

generational curses, and childhood wounds. Through their curriculum, they will share this film worldwide, empowering parents to understand the importance of persistently pursuing their children and bestowing blessings upon them, even into adulthood.

Phil Stevens, the writer/director behind this project, has won multiple Telly Awards in both the Directing and Cinematography categories and received the Best Short Film Director award at the 2019 International Christian Film & Music Festival for his work on "Something Blue." “This story truly resonates with me because I have two beautiful, very different daughters that I am always desperately trying to stay connected with,” says Stevens, “As a father, it is my job to tell them 'you're beautiful', 'you're valuable', 'you should always be treated with respect and dignity' and 'I will never STOP pursuing your heart.'”
Lead roles will be played by Phil Stevens, Denise Santos, and Marlee Mattadeen, in their second film together, having previously come together on a film that raised $840k towards domestic violence aid. Supporting Stevens on this endeavor behind the scenes is Emmy nominated, award winning producer Alahna Lark and Mikayla Lebel.
