love torn to the brink by a war determined to destroy the world.
stefano-4417 May 2005
A moving film, from what one would assume to be a first time filmmaker. It would appear that the festivals know what there talking about. Filmmaker Steven Grahymn, has taken on a difficult subject matter and handled it with the care of a mother holding her baby for the first time. He tugs at the heart strings, playing them as though he has played the violin his whole life. The music that pours from this film is a tearful cry of hope, pain, suffering and joy.

If one can fault Steven, it would be for taking a subject matter which has been over done by just about every ingénue filmmaker, but again his approach is so subtle that even to fault him for such a grandiose vision would be a mistake. It takes courage and determination to make such a film, as it must have for those who went through such an ordeal. Steven has shown a respect for his story and it inspires the viewer to wonder just what's next for such a young filmmaker/actor/writer. Is this just the beginning?

Vodka, Winter and the Cry of the Violin - Steven Grayhm
jaybs12 August 2006
Steven Grayhm name is well known on USA TV - but it was "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" which really brought Steven to the attention of TV Viewers and then the DVD Public once it was released Worldwide.

Here is a short movie that Steven Wrote, Produced and Directed and Starred in, with a performance that is so moving.

Steven perhaps at first hit the right notes as an actor with his good looks, some say he looks like Leonardo DiCaprio and then others like Matt Damon, perhaps even better than both, but his True and Real Talents are what makes Steven Grayhm the serious and talented actor that I can assure You he is.

This short means a lot to Steven personally and it is credit that it has won several International Awards for Steven including Winner 2003 of the New York Independent Film and Video Festival.

Steven Grayhm is a name to note and one that is going to a Big Star of the Future!
