LOVE SAVES – Director Dan
Series: Love Saves (film)Daniel Ferrara, the director of “Love Saves”, reflects on the scene that presents Tzu Chi in the film, and how it helped address his concern about “introducing the concept of Tzu Chi as an organization without it being too obviously overbearing.” Since the introduction is made through the dramatic story arc of a lead character, we discover how the spirit of love helps people without having to mention the organization by name.
