I was feeling emotionally drained about everything and wondered just what the heck was I doing. All the sacrifices made lately, have been particularly hard. Though many good things are happening, it still has been a heavy load to bear. As I was driving around the battlefield looking at the Fall colors, or lack thereof, … More A THOUSAND SMILES
In regard to this first film, over the years, I have seen many people come and go. I learned early on not to get too attached as even friends have walked out and have turned on me. But I continued on. I have never lost sight of the finished product regardless of who has said … More THE BEAST OF THE BUSINESS
Since I am new to filmmaking, I do not and did not know the operations on how things ticked. I am ever learning this art. I am indeed thankful there are so many knowledable people who laid the tracks out before me. Auditioning and casting was something I may have felt in my heart, but … More AUDITIONING – BE THE CHARACTER
As the film starts to build momentum – (speed or strength of something as it is moving), commitment levels must also build and keep up with what is going on.

Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming. Well…I am dreaming. I am just living it while I am awake. I am excited to see what the future holds for our film series. I am waiting in great expectation to see who will fill the opens roles we have. It … More IT’S A NEW DAY!
I sit here wondering how in the world am I going to raise the funds for our first full feature. Believe me, I have spent the last few years studying, reading books, watching videos, researching websites, blogs and more. I have built a pretty cool fundraising campaign based on expert advice and help as well. … More BEHIND THE SCENES!
“MOMENTUM” is simply defined as “something in motion.” While in Pre-Production of our first feature film, it seemed like an uphill climb. There were even times when it looked and felt like we were stuck, or dangling helplessly off a cliff. At that point, all momentum stopped. As the head of this project, all eyes … More BE A DREAM FINISHER!
Though I am not a runner now, I used to run races in school. Lap after lap, I remember the agonizing pain of having to press my overtaxed body harder; then harder some more. As sweat soaked my clothes, I had one goal in mind and that was to cross the finish line. I would … More THE LAST LAP!
