2012

Producer / Director Rey Sabado completed several audio and film interviews  with Phil Smart Senior. A concept teaser was completed to generate initial interest. 

In the 4th quarter 2 days of production were completed.  We interviewed individuals who were directly influenced by Phil Smart Senior.  Senior’s life long “Third 8” was directed at helping sick and dying children at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Colleagues, friends and ex-patients were among the interviewed. 

This process uncovered many threads and ripples beyond Senior’s direct influence. The realization that this story is much bigger than Phil Smart Senior direct influence was very exciting. Showcasing other individuals and  organizations is very exciting.  The ripples extended as far as China!

The 1st quarter of the year we had to honor to document the  last interview with Phil Smart. Senior words were direct and clear to me regarding this documentary “Get it done”. Our last day of production we captured some footage of Senior’s memorial service March 2nd. 

A second teaser was created to communicate Phil Smart Senior wish to promote his Third 8 philosophy beyond his life.

2014  / 2015

A slow start to the year but we are still pushing! Lack of funds has ceased production. Private meetings are taking place.

Production Schedule Moving forward

To finish this documentary we want to capture a day and a life of one of Phil Smart Senior’s patients. This will give insight how Senior has helped a patients life and in turn continue on their own “Third 8” giving. Secondly, capturing the reach and influence of The Third 8 with individuals or organizations who were influenced by Senior’s philosophy.  We want to tell their story and  the way they are giving back to the world. The documentary's message: We can all have a global impact on the world if you donate a piece of our discretionary 8 hours of a day.
