Hi, my name is Andres Sarmiento and I am the founder and producer of D'Vision Indie Films . We are a small South Florida film production company with a lot of hunger for storytelling. Our goal is not to only help ourselves, but other people's visions come to life.
The Story
"Happy Anniversary" is a drama about two individuals, Mark and Stacy, who are reunited after given circumstances and remind themselves as to where fate has brought them. This is a story about the decisions and sacrifices that we all have to make in the persue of our dreams. Although it may not seem apparent at the time, everything always happens for a reason.
