Director's Vision

To have any real or lasting meaning, a motion picture, as with all art, must deal with human feelings and ideas that make up the most significant aspects of our experience.

Big Doc will be such a film, entertaining while giving food for the heart and mind.

We will draw the audience into the world of our characters - to care about them, laugh with them, cry with them, celebrate their successes, suffer their hardships, and learn their lessons about life.

Set in a small southern town in 1933, Big Doc's Girl is a story about:

- Pillaging of the weak by the powerful;

- A family struggling to survive hard times;

- A well-educated doctor who has given up opportunities for a successful city practice to help the down-and-out;

- The heartbreak of parents who can't meet the needs of their children;

- How young people are affected when their dreams are crushed;

- Coping with hardship and adversity, either to be defeated or to gain strength of character from them;

- Choosing a life path and who is to accompany one on that path;

- The power of community.

- Finding significance in life.

A major theme developed in the story is that a humanistic spirit is crucial to both social harmony and individual well being.
