A Still Small Voice

A Still Small Voice is an award-winning proof-of-concept short film that interweaves personal heartbreak with timeless stories from the Torah, creating a tapestry of hope in the midst of silence and suffering. The story follows Miriam, a woman in 1st-century Capernaum who has endured multiple miscarriages and the ache of unanswered prayers. Though she now treasures her daughter Abigail, the shadow of past loss lingers, resurfacing in small reminders like a tattered baby blanket. With her husband occupied at his market stall, Miriam turns to teaching Torah stories to children in her village, using Hannah’s desperate prayer at the temple as a lesson in faith and perseverance. As she recounts Hannah’s vow to dedicate her child to God, Miriam confronts her own longing and the question of whether God still hears the brokenhearted. The film’s narrative then opens into a wider vision, blending scenes of Elijah confronting despair, Jezebel raging against the God of Israel, and Job enduring unspeakable loss. Each story echoes Miriam’s reality: that pain does not mean abandonment, and that faith often grows in ashes. When tragedy nearly strikes her own family again, Miriam must listen beyond the noise of jealousy, distraction, and fear to hear the quiet whisper of God’s presence. Through symbolic imagery, intimate family moments, and reverent retellings of Scripture, A Still Small Voice invites audiences into the tension between doubt and belief, between loss and redemption. The short not only stands as a deeply moving film on its own but also serves as the foundation for a larger series that bridges the old covenant with the promise of the new, reminding viewers that God speaks most powerfully not through fire or storm but in a whisper of love—and that even in grief, He is weaving purpose out of pain.
