Epiphany

The sisters fought to get this story made for twenty years. It's about a small fishing town in Florida steeped in Greek-lore about sponge-diving, but it's really about family and secrets and it's made with such honesty and love. Watch it. It's worth it.

This captivating movie inspired me to learn more about Greek Culture and traditions and the Epiphany day that members of the Greek Orthodox Church celebrate. Tarpon Springs, the setting for the movie, was beautifully captured on film and the storyline can be enjoyed by tweens, teenagers, and adults of all ages. The masterful portrayal of the characters made me invested in the outcome and want to follow them, long after the movie was over.

This film has so many layers to it. Loved watching,

A beautiful family film. Queue it up, pop the popcorn and snuggle in.

Forced to face pain and resentment that has been brewing for decades, Epiphany takes a refreshingly real look at the struggles of three generations of one Greek Family in Tarpon Springs, Florida. It's a poignant look at the hardship immigrant families face, trying to survive in a modern world without losing who they are in the process.

Loved the history of Greek culture that I wasn't familiar with before the film. Luka played a strong lead role as a struggling young lady trying to make it through some family issues. I found myself trying to figure out the films ending as the storyline progressed only to find I had it all wrong. It was absolutely genius.

Epiphany is a wonderful coming of age story set against Tarpon Springs and the natural sea sponge industry. I didn't know anything about the Greek culture in Tarpon Springs and this magnified look was both interesting and educational. Caitlin Carmichael was amazing as Luka!

This is what great film making is all about. Touching story. Excellent script. Beautiful cinematography. Lovely cast. Smart editing. Thoughtful inclusion of culture. Skilled acting. Bravo to all involved. Please, may we have another?

Beautiful coming of age story. The story was true to life and depicts an honest look at Greek American culture.
