Each will complete a film & walk the red carpet for a premiere film screening at Daytona Beach Arts Fest April 12-13.

"But I always say, if you want to heal the ills of the world, it can be done through film. ... The real stories with depth and complexity. Characters with foibles and strength. If you see yourself on the screen, participating in all of this, you have hope of a future."
