Film is one of the most powerful ways to tell a story.
I’ve always been drawn to true stories, whether written, heard or viewed. So a film well done and inspired by a true story - that, to me, equals impact. It’s the positive impact and opportunity for transformation through truth that I am so passionate about.

When I first heard the story by which our film Daisy was inspired, I knew right away that it needed to be shared. Within a week, it was put on my heart to pursue making it into a film. The idea of directing and producing had been brewing in me for quite some time, but it was when I shared the story with two colleagues of mine that I realized this was a story that it absolutely had to be turned into a film - and for purposes greater that what I know. Before I knew it, Venus, Sharonne and I began meeting on a regular basis about what and why we wanted to make films and specifically our motivation behind what we would call, Daisy.

Meanwhile, I sat myself in front of my computer and watched my fingers write my very first screenplay - as I had no prior experience doing before. I couldn’t have done it without the inspiration of first, God, as He is the one who gives me my every breath. Second, several seasoned screenwriters who would read my drafts and give me invaluable feedback. And third, Venus and Sharonne, who were regularly also reading my drafts offering insights, perspectives and ideas. The same gratitude came as the three of us stepped into the journey of producing when we were able to lean on several seasoned producers along the way. We soon also learned how well we worked together, each with our unique strengths/weaknesses, likes/dislikes and interests.

What our short film has become in comparison to what I first imagined it would be, blows my mind. The team of people brought together for Daisy was beyond what I could ever ask for in our first project. We, Venus, Sharonne and I, went into this however with number one, a focus on taking one step at a time in what God was leading us to do and number two, moving forward with a dependence on God, His provision and doing so in excellence.

In turn, we can testify of that perfect provision for all our production needs and beyond; finances, location, weather, just the right actors and absolutely incredible crew members all around. The level of professionalism, passion, experience, skill, knowledge, integrity and kindness from our entire cast and crew, from beginning to end, made this collaboration such an enormous joy!
There are many elements and themes that are weaved in this film. It is my hope, that they will prompt many valuable discussions that lead to positive life changing decisions in others.
