About the Film
Directed by: Nathan Engelhardt and Jeremy Spears
Crew: Over 200 volunteer artists and technicians
Length: Just 13 minutes
Production: Took more than five years to complete
This short is a true labor of love, blending handmade artistry with innovative animation techniques. Without giving away spoilers, it’s a tale of innocence, temptation, and redemption.
Gospel Themes Woven In
I hesitate to say too much about what I saw in the story, because part of its beauty is in experiencing it fresh for yourself. But as you watch, I’d encourage you to look for:
The longing for love
The pull of temptation
The hope of redemption
The film doesn’t preach, yet it whispers truths that echo the good news we hold dear.
What stood out most to me was as I watched this was the love of our Heavenly Father. His love is steady, pursuing, and was so clear to me in the story. And yet, that love shines brightest against the reality of our rebellion — not just wandering, but a willful turning away from Him. The film reminded me that while rebellion is real and destructive, it is never the end of the story. The Father’s love meets us in that place, offering forgiveness, restoration, and a way back home. Forevergreen felt like a quiet parable of that truth: that even when we resist, His love is relentless and redeeming.
Forevergreen is only available on YouTube for a limited time — November 21st-30th. At just 13 minutes long, it’s easy to fit into your day, but the story lingers far longer in the heart. If you’re reading this, I encourage you to watch it now before it’s gone, and let its imagery remind you of the gospel story we live in.
If you do watch Forevergreen, I’d love to hear what you thought of it in the comments.
May this short film be a reminder that God’s love is truly evergreen — constant, sheltering, and full of grace.
God bless!
