UWOL#4 Touching Generations by Jeff Hendricks
Feedback thread for the film “Touching Generations”, filmed in the Hope Valley, Sierra Nevada Mountains…I am looking forward to enjoying all of your films.
I would like to give a special thanks to Brad Murphy “Murph” and the band Slipstream for allowing me to use their song “Waterbound” in my film. They are an outstanding bluegrass/traditional band out of Boulder Colorado. I put their band’s website at the end of the credits please feel free to check them out and take a listen. Cool band, great music, and terrific people. Thanks Slipstream. |
Jeff,
This video touched me!!! No it gouged me!! I have you in the top four to be certain!!! maybe it is because it is because I am older and more emotional, but all all I can say is great job!! |
I appreciate that very much Dale, Thank you
|
Jeff,
Not just a great film but a great story too! It really reminded me of "A River Runs Through It." Beautiful imagery! |
Wonderful story line, excellent video, perfect music, tight editing, and very wet water. You might have had the mom call Ryan's name just a little bit louder at the end, but as far as I'm concerned, you have the winning entry.

Hey Jeff.....
Spot on. Tight in every example - where your UWOL 3 film was ever so slightly overwhelming at points, you've stepped back, had a think about it and produced a piece that is perfect in pace, visual and vocal storytelling, and really captivating throughout. I think the whole concept of sharing the same space of generations past and "echoes down the ages" will really touch a large portion of the audience - it certainly did with me... Great work ;-) |
Thank you all for the very kind words, I am humbled
I am glad that it conveyed what I imagined, generations of people separated by hundreds, even thousands of years touching the exact same molecules of water; essentially touching history. Jeff |
I forgot to give a big thanks to my terrific actors...so Todd, Ryan, Norma and Aiden...you guys were amazing in this thank you...
Love Jeff |
Hi Jeff.
I love this kind of films. People out in the nature and kids playing around. As I said to Chris, this is what makes us better persons. Great storyline, great editing and great music and the link between the old man and the boy :) Well put together! Geir Inge |
Jeff,
Very nice piece of work. You obviously put a lot into this. Great story that touches us all. I think you have a winner here. Regards, |
I can see that a good amount of time and effort put into this short, great story line giving a nice emotional feeling.

Jeff:
Glad to see something more dramatic in this challenge. Sometimes I think we try to keep all humans of our "nature" films, thinking that we humans are a contamination. This film shows that we are part of it, and have a choice of the mark we leave..... nice film. |
Hi Jeff,
Well, this is one of my favourites - perhaps the winner! I don't really know where to start but I always love films that bring out emotion in people, and this really did it for me. The filming was sensational - effects, colour, composition, etc. But it was the story and how you conveyed this that was so powerful. The filming quality was excellent Jeff - you should be very proud of what you created here - both my wife and I loved it! |
Wow, thank you all so much for the wonderful comments on my film. I have to say that I am glad everyone is seeming to understand it the way it is because I was almost ready to scrap the whole thing (on the Monday of the deadline no less) and re-edit the entire piece to make the story flow differently.
Thank you all again, Jeff |
Hi Jeff!
I somehow didn't get the audio with this, but with your excellent filming and beautiful story, I don't think I needed it. It was so well done and touching. I'm certain the music would bring it all home, but like I said it is such a strong message it works without it. All the best in uwol 5 Cat Russell |
