This is a moving and inspiring "little film" with a very big emotional punch. It beautifully illustrates that we all have souls that seek purpose and expression and that even the house next door deserves the life it so richly deserves.

This is an intimate look at what drive and dedication really look like. The story is told with a sense of grace and wonderful simplicity. The music fits perfectly with the moving images. The scenes are captured in a personal and quiet way that add to the overall message that the film conveys.

I found myself disappointed that the film ended so quickly. I would love to see the "director's cut" when available. And yes, Wally deserves more screen time.

This is a very compelling film.

In Saving the Hansen House, the McIntyres' skill, experience and production values make a small town story come alive.

Bethania, from personal experience, is a delightful town with interesting characters determined to hold on to their piece of history. It resists being absorbed into Winston-Salem in spite of being surrounded by the much bigger town.

The story of a retiring professor saving a very old house with the help of an occasionally odd group of professional tradesmen fits the area's evolving diversity without losing touch with its past. The balance of history, renovation, human interest and that wonderful little dog made it a favorite.
