Eric Alagan

What an interesting read. Have you completed the script?

Antonio Ingram

Yes, but I am trying to get my first script (The Tale of Denzel and Isabella above) through the happy writers first. But that is definitely the next one. Thank you very much, Eric.

Christina Stockberger

Wow great ideas.

Jorge J Prieto

What a great story of faith, perseverance, forgiveness and redemption. My kind of story, brother. Thanks for writing it, Antonio.

Antonio Ingram

Thank you, Jorge. It is very dear to me. The area I went to High school was heavily influenced by gang violence. And when I was a teenager, I was heavily involved in the church being ushering other things. They would always call me a preacher and I did not see because I am a bit on the edgy side to be that person. And along with the gang violence going on in time today, I just put those three together and wrote this. But thank you very much.
