This digital art brings Emma Hale Smith and Joseph Smith to life in a way that feels both reverent and deeply human. Using softly animated portraits, painterly textures, and cinematic light inspired by the 19th century, these works invite viewers to see Emma and Joseph not only as historical figures, but as real people—marked by faith, sacrifice, love, and divine purpose. Through modern artistic tools, their story becomes more intimate, approachable, and emotionally resonant for a new generation.
This film turns our attention to the descendants of Joseph Smith and Emma Hale Smith, highlighting the living legacy of faith that continues through generations. More than genealogy, Descendants is a reflection on stewardship—how belief, courage, sacrifice, and devotion to God are passed quietly from parent to child over time. It invites viewers to consider not only where we come from, but what spiritual inheritance we are preserving and what legacy of faith we are choosing to leave behind.
An endowment in support of this project is an invitation to help build something enduring—an inspired website and mobile app dedicated to the life, faith, and legacy of Emma Hale Smith. These gifts are not simply donations for today, but a sustaining foundation that allows this work to grow, remain accessible, and bless future generations. Through endowment support, donors help ensure that Emma’s story is preserved with dignity, accuracy, and spiritual depth, using modern technology to teach, inspire, and uplift hearts for years to come.
