How profound!! This piece touched me in a way I never expected it to and that to me is the beauty of media. Amazing story, it gave me a greater sense of what it means to "have a heart" and appreciate life! Great Interviews!

From one heart recipient to another, Don, this is a wonderful tribute to Organ Donors and their loving families. GOD BLESS

Bob Pitcock  |  September 13, 2007

A great documentary. It made me cry and then gave me hope for the future of Mr. Arthur. Well Done Isaac.

John Autz  |  June 18, 2007

Definitely touching... it made me think about how there are many other people in the world that go through the same thing that these people went through.

A phenomenal heart felt story bringing shocking awareness to the tragedies of these diseases and how it can kill. Shows how there is a G-d and that things run in strange ways that somehow fit like a puzzle piece. The kindness of one to another is just amazing.

Lydia  |  June 17, 2007

Wow. It's quite the eye opener and very touching.

Lina  |  June 16, 2007

heyys! i saw this last year too! i had also met him in person when he came to my health class in school. its a touching story, and u did a great job on it. u portrayed how the donor and receiver really well. best wishes!

Tiffany  |  June 16, 2007

Amazing film. I loved every moment.

Spectator  |  June 14, 2007

This movie was not only eye-opening but also sweet with a taste of love.

Suze  |  June 14, 2007

Amazing movie, Isaac. It left me speechless.

Jelten  |  June 14, 2007

i actually know someone who recieved a heart transplant but this film actually got me to think about becoming an organ donar... this is the kind of thing youth films need to do... when i saw this i didnt think it was a youth film... because it has one of the strongest messages out there and it is made in the most professional way ive seen so far from youth media... i really enjoyed it... the director expressed i realy passion for art in the paint and experimental images and at the same time told a compelling story that has the power to change the way people view life... what else could you ask for?

jack  |  June 14, 2007

Wow! That's all I can say about this documentary! It was really eye opening to see how the recipient of the heart thinks before and after receiving the heart and how the family reacts to the death of their loved one and someone else receiving his heart. This was truely great!

Ilana  |  June 12, 2007

I like the stuff you did with the paint. I'm happy for that man. :)

kat  |  June 10, 2007

Rada  |  June 10, 2007

alex  |  June 09, 2007

david  |  June 09, 2007

john  |  June 09, 2007

i almost cried

ikey  |  June 09, 2007

isaac shrem (director) has done it again!this movie is great. i now have new thoughts about organ donation.

sharon  |  June 09, 2007

i really loved this movie. Changed my life

Terrence Fitchett  |  June 08, 2007

OMG! Have A Heart Is AMAZING! Isaac Shrem is the wonderfulest.

Alimdar  |  June 08, 2007

I loved it...amazing and inspiring. If only all movies had that touch of surreal emotion.

Luke  |  June 08, 2007

AMAZING

Leora  |  June 08, 2007

This movie was absolutely enlightening. In our modern materialistic world it is often easy to forget that we, as people, have an obligation to care for each other. This film reminds us that there is still good in people - that even when they are hurting, they can still make a hard decision in order to give a stranger the greatest gift of all - the gift of life. In that, this film is a great gift to all who watch it.

Susan Vasserman  |  June 08, 2007

hey isaac. i loved your film, it touched my heart & put a few salty tears on my cheeks. gives me hope for my mommy. best of luck.

Julie  |  June 08, 2007

this movie was amazing!! i was very touched by it.

moria cohen  |  June 08, 2007

great movie loved arthur and how you edited the film showing that him and margrit can come together

sammy S  |  June 08, 2007

I loved this film. It's so sweet. It makes everyone want to give a heart.

Diana  |  June 08, 2007

i always knew that that heart is the most important orgen in your body.infact its the "engine" of your body with out your heart you cant live.but watching this movie i learned more about the heart,and people who have heart dieses.no matter what people will always donate. and this movie will also give a message out for people who do not know about the heart how important it really is...

maurice  |  June 08, 2007

i really liked this video. it wasnt about how people focus on everyday things, it was about something true, something real.

raquel  |  June 08, 2007

This movie really spoke to me. I felt the emotion, and it touched me deeply

Avi  |  June 08, 2007

LOVED IT! Wonderful message! Beautiful depiction of "compassion in action."

Lauren Larsen  |  June 06, 2007

Well done, the right length, good transitions to other media

David Arthur  |  June 05, 2007

Heart to heart is a very touching. It causes thoughts about sharing with others after life.

A. Morales  |  June 05, 2007

A well told, compelling story. Great job.

Phil E  |  June 05, 2007

Wonderful, informative film. It has truly been a honor for me to become acquainted with Donald Arthur VIA emails. I too am a heart recipient.

Bob Pitcock  |  June 04, 2007

all these movies are awesome...=)

brian  |  June 04, 2007

This was very a moving and beautiful account of the two sides of organ donation. I wept as both stories were told. Thank you for creating this wonderful movie.

Gaea Shaw  |  June 04, 2007

at first i thought the paint was blood and it scared me a little but then i saw what it physically was... and then i saw what it was symbolically... very creative...

daniela  |  June 03, 2007

WOW! the paint was crazy and really made me feel different about organ donation...

kfir  |  June 03, 2007

The story was great but and I would really like to hear the story of poochy... and why exactly he was shot... i know it doesn't really mean much to the story of organ donation but i would still like to know the story you should follow up on that...

sam  |  June 02, 2007

Knowing Donald made this movie more inspiring. This is such a beautiful movie and also very well done. Organ donation is so very important.

Susan  |  June 02, 2007

i felt there was more of personal and emotional connection to the other film though this films shows how you can use your talent as a film maker to help benifit society! even if only 1 out of 10 people become organ donars or give blood after seeing this... it will still have contributed to a great cause and will have brought up discussion about the topic... a topic we all should talk about....

eli  |  June 02, 2007

i loved the paint in this film it really helped make it interesting and made it more then just people talking in a documentary.

arielle  |  June 02, 2007

Awsome! i love how the director crossed experimental imagry with a documentary. the red paint symoblizing the heart and the black as the disease truly captivated me! and Donald is an amazing speaker! him and margrit both have a lot of courage and this story is just so inspiring! i really think that this story needs to be told so that people can understand what it means to truly save a life! great job!

jack  |  June 01, 2007

There is only one word to describe the film "Awesome"

Donald Arthur  |  May 31, 2007

though i liked his other film better this one was still great touching and deep very interesting as well keep up the good work

ikey  |  May 29, 2007

this piece was ruly amazing and inspiring

Everett Anderson  |  May 29, 2007

put togther so well its amazing i know hes destined for greatness

sammy Missry  |  May 29, 2007

Have a Heart was an incredible documentary, that I enjoyed from the start to finish. The story is phenomenal, I wasn't quite to be happy or sad becuase of the circumstances. To make a documentary on such a story as this, you have courage and interest in other individuals.

Nurah  |  May 28, 2007

very insightful

larry  |  May 28, 2007

great interpretation of the heart (paint dripping)

Lilliana Llamado  |  May 28, 2007

i enjoyed the symbolism of the black paint splattering over the red which represented the disease that infected the heart and the hand that mixed them together proved very powerful! great job!

sharon  |  May 28, 2007

All I can say is"WOW". Extremely touching, and a lesson of the gift in which we all have.. Our Heart! Incredible.....

adi cohen  |  May 28, 2007

I thought the film was very interesting. The fact that one mans heart can live on in another man is both freaky and touching at the same time. To be the man with another mans heart beating inside of him is crazy stuff. I also enjoyed how the film was put together with the paint splattering and wat not

zachary  |  May 27, 2007

I recently saw this movie at the Tribeca Film Festival. I thought it was well-done and very inspirational. After watching this film it really touched me and I opened up a new peraspective in life for me.

Brandee  |  May 27, 2007

Wow. Truly touching.

Radmila  |  May 27, 2007

I think it was a great film with a heart felt need to send a message. It's very sweet and lovely.

Diana  |  May 27, 2007

This movie was spectacular. It moved me and changed my way of thinking about life . It was an absolutely wonderful film.

Terrence FItchett  |  May 26, 2007

I thought this film was very "heart" warming. After watching it I felt like I knew the victim firsthand. I've never really had much contact with a donor before, and this film helped me understand the importance of organ donation, and helping to save another person's life.

sam  |  May 26, 2007

I personally thought this film was strong and profound. No film has ever made me cry, and it is powerful work. Although this film director's work may be abstruse, to truly understand its profundity is rewarding.

Benny  |  May 26, 2007

The movie was really inspiring and showed that Isaac really worked hard on this film! I really enjoyed it!

Melissa  |  May 26, 2007

There is nothing more precious then life itself, and the gift of life. A great short film which tells of one mans tale. A simply organ donation saved his life, and brought about hapiness . Touching!!!

George T  |  May 26, 2007

It's amazing how deeply "Have a Heart" reaches into your emotions and touches you on an extremely personal level. After just the few minutes of watching this film, I can feel what these people are feeling; when they are happy, I am happy, and when they despair, I find myself on the verge of tears. "Have a Heart" not only allows you to bear witness to a touching tale of heatbreak and rebirth, but it also sends a clear and morally just message of hope.

Steven Velelis  |  May 26, 2007

this movie is so great. i loved it so much isaac is a great producer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

michelle cimbol  |  May 26, 2007

A great film. Giving the gift of life. Very informative on all aspects of donating.

Lexi  |  May 26, 2007

it brought a tear to my eye seeing how people live under those circumstances. Seeing how people in their dark times can save a life by willing to have a heart.
