I had to give up making my living as an actor to raise my three amazing daughters, so I went back to school and got a Master's Degree in Counseling. I've authored two books and three workbooks based on what I learned about human nature. Three husband's later my kids were off to college and I took up acing again. My husband Mike did not understand what the heck I was doing at all. But then he got bored working for the worst job he has ever had and was desperate for a creative outlet and we came up with the idea for a screenplay. Since that time he has gotten the videography bug. He has a magical eye for following the emotions of a scene. Together we have made 9 short films and written multiple screenplays. The 9 shorts were our "film school". Now we are ready to shoot our first feature… though we will be shooting one more short this spring with our new 4K camera.

Thanks Sebastian, its been quite a journey. What started me off in the idea of creating films is that half the time, even when people buy them, they don't read my books even though doing so will transform their lives!
