  If there's one film you should see at Slamdance or Sundance check out Quest. The film is based on a true story and stars Dash Mihok as Berkeley teacher Tim Moellering who steps up to help an abused 12-year-old graffiti addict play brilliantly by new comer @gregkasyan The film has a nice balance of humorous and sad scenes. @santi_rizzo does an amazing job in his directorial debut and made the film to honor the middle-school teacher who refused to give up on him. Highly recommend it to anyone but especially teachers and youth mentors. Check out this gem at Slamdance

  I've watched the world premiere of this wonderful movie during the "International Filmfest Oldenburg 2017". Director Santiago Rizzo and actor Lou Diamond Phillips were special guests and presented the movie to the audience. A touching story and brilliant actors - especially Gregory Kasyan and Lou Diamond Phillips - turned this evening into a reminding event. "Quest" is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Go and watch it!

  Quest is the kind of story that breaks us down so we can build ourselves up, better than before. It is a story of a man who was not afraid to reach out to someone in need, didn't hide behind "It's not my responsibility" and loved fiercely. This is not a feel good movie. It is a get off your ass and change the world movie; not the whole world, all at once, like a superhero, but bit by bit, one compassionate word and generous act at a time. Go see it and bring everyone you know!

  It was my honor to meet Santiago Rizzo and then to see his movie QUEST. Words can not adequately express the awful beauty of this movie. An unflinching view of child abuse, reality that for many children the streets are safer than their own lives and the gift of love can transform lives. #questthemovie #thetruthalwaysrises #trustyourstruggle TIM'S TOP 10 RULES TO LIVE BY Have empathy for everyone. Put yourself in someone else's skin and walk around in it. Tell the truth. You'll have less to remember. You know you never lied and eventually people will trust you. Be Reliable. Do what you say you were going to do. Even if it means showing up on time. People will trust you. Assume Positive Intent. If they are incompetent, so be it, but it doesn't hurt you to assume they are doing their best. Be Physically Active. It's better than any drug. It's fun and can be a boon to your social life. If you are running an errand, walk or ride a bike because you'll feel better. It may not be obvious at first but it adds up. Just do it. If the choice is between sitting around and doing nothing or doing something, do something every single time. Don't blame anyone. No one is to blame for anything. Only you can change what you do. If you blame someone else, you can't solve the problem. Instead, you are telling someone else to solve the problem. If you don't blame then you will be able to take control. Your possessions can be replaced. People are obsessed with their possessions. Letting your possessions control you is a terrible way of living. When you can let them go, you become free. There's little relationship between wealth and happiness. Carpe Diem. Seize the Day. Accomplish something everyday. Otherwise you're wasting time. There's always something wonderful to experience. Go do it. Solve your problems. Some people like to have problems so they have something to complain about. Don't waste time. It also gives you something to do. Something to strive for.

  Quest is likely the Best movie I have ever seen. Real, real, real. Intense, engaging, and ultimately about love, the thing we all so desperately need. We can all learn from this movie, a must see! James Schraider
