The 9:09 Project explores the inner life of a young man who goes to the same street corner at 9:09 PM every evening to take a photograph in honor of his mother...because that’s what time it was when she died. And he’s worried—deeply worried—that he’s losing his connection to her.
This is a story about the healing power of art…
About putting your grief to work...
About being open to possibilities...
and making connections.
In other words… it’s a love story.
