After 65 Years of Marriage, What Truly Matters

Justine & Michael 💚 Perhaps one of the nicer things about getting older is realising that things don’t need to be perfect. People get things wrong and plans change. Over time, many of the things that once felt so important begin to matter less, leaving more room for what really does. It can also change the way we see the people around us. Love becomes less about expecting everything to be easy, and more about accepting one another as we are. People don’t need to be faultless to be deeply loved. Maybe a good life is one where we become a little softer with each other. Where we say what matters while we still can, and don’t waste too much time on the small stuff. Life may be messy and unfinished, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful. Perhaps that is part of what makes it ours. Featuring Doreen Gail Hemp. Filmed in Pringle Bay, South Africa.

We are Justine and Michael , and we use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion. In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.
