I’m doing it! I’ve figured out how, where, when and why… and just now in the process of writing the proposal to get funding (even have that lined up). Best thing is, I just know that when I am finished this, that it will be educational for generations to come. I’ve always had a compulsion for the truth (even the ugly truth) and this is such a positive thing for me release to the world. I think we can change the world by telling this story. Film is one of the few ways that we can ‘walk in another’s shoes’. How else can we learn to treat each other like human beings and erase centuries of hatred and prejudice? I can’t wait to do this! I feel like I was born to do it.

Auditioning in a couple of weeks!
1 month ago
Luckily I have my chance to give it another try! An actor friend of mine is hosting auditions for three film shorts- and since I’ve already met a lot of the people through auditions that we held, I feel a lot less nervous about it. Wish me luck!! Even just going is a win!
