Oh, lord! I participated again (!!) in a 2-week-collaboration challenge. And what crazy 2 weeks it had been! It was the biggest crew I’ve worked so far on my own project, and it was challenging on every level: producing, acting, and directing. And!! It was my first time playing 2 characters at the same time!! But I’m incredibly grateful to all the people who were brave enough to jump on this ship with me. We did it and once again, I’ll showcase the film in film festivals around the world!
My film TEA is nominated for Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score at the Idyllwild Film Festival. Film has also been selected at the Dam Short Film Festival, Nevada Women’s Film Festival, Fastnet FF, The Romford FF, World of Women Film Fair Middle East, Hollywood Reel FF, and Women in Focus FF.
So, this happened. On June 3rd, 2022 I held a private screening for my film Parallels. It was a very special night for me to share my creation, my first short film with people dear to me. I wish I could invite more supporters, but trust me, you were in my heart and mind (see the video). My hope is that a festival will bring us together.
Onward and upward!
It's been a while since I've posted any updates about "Parallels." There have been quite some troubles and not only in post-production of the project but in the world in general, I'm sure you know it. So, that spark faded away for a bit. But recently, I've been adding subtitles to the behind-the-scenes video for "Parallels" and I sort of remembered it all. The excitement, the anticipation, the joy, the tears (both in and out of character), the struggles, and the rewards of it. The growth I received as a filmmaker, the genuine connections I've made with both cast and crew. And THAT lit up that spark and made me continue, made me finish the project and not give up. I'm officially done with the film and sending it free-floating into the world of festivals until it finds its audience. I also am looking forward to the premiere and to share it with you.
