Validation by Kurt Kuenne

"You look marvelous," said Billy Crystal, and so well did he deliver this line, the phrase became part of the vernacular. Here is a short movie that shows someone giving validation. People line up to receive his gift and give him smiles in return. There is also a little love story and a series of miracles that brings the lovers together. This video has been viewed on YouTube almost one million times.

Dear Zachary and Forgiveness

Kurt Kuenne's latest project is Dear Zachary. This is a sad tale, a documentary about the loss of a friend. I have not seen this movie, but it has received excellent reviews and some awards already. The story presented is an opportunity for forgiveness. I am certain that if Kurt Kuenne can produce a film like Validation, he can summon forgiveness in a vein similar to the miracle that Aba Gail experienced after the loss of her daughter.
