JULIA OTHMER 'The First Day - 9/11 Memorial'

The First Day by JULIA OTHMER, Directed by JENA SERBU

This short film/video accompanies Julia Othmer's re-recording of, "The First Day", a song she wrote almost a decade ago on the evening of the 9/11 disaster.

We have teamed up with The NATIONAL VETERANS FOUNDATION (888)777-4443 and other PTSD organizations to help raise funds and spread awareness.

We would love your input on where and how this incredibly moving piece of meaningful artwork can be seen and shared.
