Crossing Over at The PCT

The Pocono Community Theater* in East Stroudsburg, PA hosted the presentation of a short film entitled, “The Crossing Over of Mattie Pearl” on Saturday May 9th as a special Mothers’ Day Feature. The Filmmaker Andrea R. Garrison shared in numerous discussions which took place after the screening. The short 30 minute film relayed the events occurring during the passing process she experienced with her mother lending a loving perspective to that process through words and images throughout the film.

The scene depicted throughout the film consisted of nature shots which beautifully enhanced the words spoken during its narrative. The narrative itself is based upon the book Ms. Harrison wrote to honor her mother and the experiences they shared during her final days in the physical realm. Just as the ability of each life to touch the souls it encounters are not diminished or regulated by the time it spends upon this world, the time in which this film transpired did not diminish it’s ability to touch those who experienced it.

Copies of the Book and DVD are available to the public. Please Explore Andrea R. Garrison’s Website at www.onlinewithandrea.com for more information. The Pocono Community Theater* hosted this film as part of its continuing endeavors to present the best of Independent and Foreign Films not commonly seen in other venues.
