Filmmaker Statement

It was a dream of mine to create a short film about my younger life story based on my first book in a trilogy ‘Sleeping Under the Bridge’. My determination was driven by high homelessness and suicide rates worldwide, stemming from childhood abuse, whether physical, emotional and/or sexual that is sadly not discussed as a society. My passion was driven by my story to inspire hope and healing into people’s lives. This passion then transpired as I gathered my cast & crew. Each one of them felt the need to share this story too.
