"Happiness is only real when shared" (quote from INTO THE WILD) and I believe this with all my heart. There is something so special and "alive" about being on set, creating with others as a team, and it is where I feel most at "home".
I began as an "Actress" as a young girl, and I've always been that (probably annoying) one with the endless ideas and enthusiasm! Having all this creative energy, I naturally defaulted into "Writer", "Producer" and "Director" (since that is what happens when it's your idea and there isn't a budget).
My main focus and goal is to work with awesome, creative people making conscious films that can heal and enlighten our world in some way:
*Comedies that are empowering and entertaining (. . . silly is good too!!)
*Romances that are based in truth, and fantasy ;)
*Inspirational stories that can evoke strength and hope for the viewer
*Documentaries that open our eyes to new perspectives
So, if it's a good story + positive intentions behind it + cool, talented people involved + a workable budget . . . that = you better call me! :D
Unique traits: compassionate, silly, professional
