As part of our Hope & Joy Series, Michael Raimondo joined us to share the inspiring stories behind their Reflections of Life project. As talented filmmakers, Michael and Justine have created a series of wonderful short films that celebrate the beauty and resilience of life.

We had the pleasure of engaging in a conversation with filmmaker Michael Raimondo, the creators behind the inspiring short films of their ‘Reflections of Life’ project. As they shared, the title ‘Reflections of Life’ is more than just a name—it’s a powerful invitation to explore the depths of our shared humanity.

The films, which highlight the boundless beauty of the human experience, evoke the feeling of being drawn into a meaningful conversation with a wise stranger—one that lingers in our minds long after it ends. Through stunning visuals and storytelling, these films remind us of the transformative power of community, built on resilience, creativity, commitment, and courage.
