Gold Is the Way I Feel

A short-subject film suitable for use in commercial theaters released by the United Methodist Television, Radio and Film Commission. It is the second such venture by the Methodists. The film is entitled Gold Is the Way I Feel. It will be shown with the Columbia Pictures' release I Never Sang for My Father (1970). The first Methodist short-subject film, Hello Up There (1969), won an award from the 1969 San Francisco International Film Festival. The new film runs eight minutes. It features teenagers from Omaha, Nebraska, who exhibit drawings and comment on how it feels to grow up, how they see their parents, what they hope for and how they react toward, love, sex, money, war, work, the generation gap and life in general. Each student comments on his own picture and the remarks are often provocative, sometimes poetic or whimsical and quite personal. Stimulates self-expression and discussion-opener for examination of contemporary problems. The title comes from a comment in which a teenager says, "I feel like undiscovered gold in the mountains."
