When tracks are laid down, it is always with the intent of a specific destination in mind. But to get to the journey’s end, much laborious work has to be done first. Laborious is defined as: “arduous, hard, heavy, difficult, strenuous, grueling, punishing, exacting, tough, burdensome, back-breaking, challenging.” We have a specific purpose in regard to … More A GOOD WORK
If there is one thing that I love, it is to dress up as a lady from the Civil War. Wow! All that frill and bling, it sets me back in time. People treat me differently too. If only I could walk into an investors office, looking like this. I would have no problem giving … More STEPPING IT UP
I have spent the last 7 hours researching and researching some more. The art of filmmaking and what it takes to complete a film and have it reach the theaters, is astounding. This picture shows the beginning of The Memoirs of Summer Ray. Just when I think we are making headway, another layer shows up … More TILL WE GET IT RIGHT
Our Fiscal Sponsor for our film is Carole Dean of From the Heart Productions. Not only does she have a wealth of information about the film industry, she also has a heart of absolute gold.

I will never forget the day I took this shot. As you can see from the picture, it was pouring. I held in my hands, while standing under a tree, a $2,000 movie camcorder that took still photos. Like other photographers, I did not want to ruin my camera. I stood safely under that tree, … More NOT ON MY WATCH
One night at the ice rink, a father was desperate for me to teach his little girl how to ice skate. Of course, I happily agreed to. But something was standing in my way…HIM! As I tried to work with her, he held on tight to the back of her jacket. At one point, to … More “LET GO!”
I am almost relieved that we had not started Production yet on “This Fair and Blighted Land Part I.” I have gone back and forth from it being Historical/Fiction (which it is) to a Suspense/Thriller which is as well.
