Moral dilemmas, betrayal, mystery, and redemption.įWM: Tell us about your company, The Hawk Swoops Productions. Maybe I’ve helped change someone’s world, it doesn’t get any better than that.įWM: What themes run through your writing? I’ve realized it’s through my filmmaking I can make a difference, one scene at a time, one heart at a time. As a result of these changes, I’ve been able to reach goals and open doors for myself, that I might have missed otherwise. I haven’t changed the world yet, but the world has changed me. The Journeyman stars Jay Mohr, and features the song, “The Last Day,” by Moby and Skylar Gray. Perhaps we should start by changing the term “broken home”, which has a direct negative effect on the child hearing this. Broken homes and misdiagnosed mental cases on average is ten years. We’ve known this for years, but the statistics for both of these situations, are staggering. Also, families, must they keep breaking up? The effects this has on the children, is devastating. So many people with mental health problems are ignored, misdiagnosed, and mistreated when their sickness should be taken as seriously as any other life-threatening disease. My hope for this film is that people will pay attention. This story is about her fight to stay alive. She believes her love is stronger than the mental disease that has taken him away from her. The Journeyman is about a mother’s desire to be reunited with her son.

Nothing comes easy when overcoming adversity. These changes often come with a price, and obstacles to overcome.
These don’t have to be radical or always political, but are changes of the heart, which in turn can bolster waves of change. I love to see changes taking place in people’s lives, in families, communities, schools, all because of someone’s story or actions. Those who defy the odds, humbly make sacrifices, make things happen with no expectation of receiving credit, having the favor returned, or hoping it will go viral on YouTube. I’m inspired by ordinary people who do extraordinary things. I laughed, I cried, and it inspired me to write my first screenplay. It wasn’t until years later I looked back at those journals and was moved by the detail and emotion of such a young girl. I started to write in journals as a way of expressing my frustration by having to move so many times, leaving friends, neighbors, schools etc., As my journaling progressed, it became more detailed. When I was young, my family moved around a lot.
