high-school-911-posterOnce you have gotten up off the floor after falling off your chair in shock that I seem to be saying my documentary film—yes, the one I’ve been talking (crying, blogging, bitching, raving) about working on for the last nine yearsHigh School 9-1-1 is not only finished but actually premiering at a film festival…JOIN ME!!!!

I am thrilled to announce that we’ll be premiering the film at the 25th annual Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana on October 21st.  It’s truly a beautiful festival spreading inspiration and showing films that do more than entertain.

So, please join me as I begin to share the film, and spread it’s vitally important and inspirational message of empowering young people through adult mentorship and responsibility, with the world.  Yes, that’s right.  I plan to share it with the world.  My goal is to get every tween and teenager on the planet to see it and blow their minds by showing them what they are actually capable of when given the opportunity and guidance by the adults in their lives.

I am so incredibly thankful for you and I deeply appreciate your belief in me, your continued love and support and, your patience.  It has been a long road to complete this passion project but I am happy to say that “the baby” has finally arrived.  It just took 9 years instead of 9 months.
