Amanda + Brian, The Broad Stage Proposal, Santa Monica

Hundreds of teary-eyed people buzzed in the foyer of The Broad Stage last Friday night after the World Premiere of The Drop Box Film.  Huge, congratulatory hugs and smiles from ear to ear greeted friends, family, and supporters who partnered alongside the team that spent years pouring their hearts into telling this story.  It was a big night for many, especially Brian Ivie, the film’s director.

In 2011, Brian and a team went to South Korea after reading an article in the Los Angeles Times about a pastor who installed a box off the side of his home for mothers to leave their unwanted babies.  Otherwise, these babies would be left to die on the streets.  While making this documentary, Brian encountered true love, which changed him forever.

That love, enabled Brian to love.  After the crowd died down, Brian took his girlfriend, Amanda, back into the theater for a super-surprise-secret short film he made asking her to marry him. They laughed — they cried — I cried… it was beautiful.
