The Journey Starts here

The interesting thing about the whole process of making a movie, something that 17 year old me, just getting into the industry, didn’t fully comprehend, is how many people are integral to making a movie happen. The crew, the PR, the producers, the creative, THE AUDIENCE. I find this interesting for a few reasons but the main being, I didn’t believe I could make it this far. As a kid from Hollis, Queens, NY I didn’t expect to reach and/r have access to certain rooms I’ve been invited to.

Tears of a Tiger was one of the first books I remember reading as a kid and really connecting to. These characters were my age, they dealt with similar issues I dealt with, yet the author had overlaid this very dramatic story, one that is plausible and heartbreaking, and told it through the lens of those that survived. This idea of survivor’s remorse is very relatable to a lot of people and when examining it while writing, I’ve discovered there is so much more story left.

So this is the first entry of many. But I wanted to start this off by saying, Thank you! Thank you for giving this campaign your time. So many people are responsible for us being here and it’s without them that we couldn’t continue to improve.
