PRODUCER’S STATEMENT

Attending the Urbanworld FIlm Festival in 1999 was the catalyst that inspired the creation of Backdoor Films and the launch of my filmmaking.  After watching a series of independent films, I walked out of the theater and thought, “I can do that.   The following year I was ambitious enough to think I could shoot 2 short films in one weekend... of couse it never happened.  And so began my lessons in film school education.  In my first effort producing, I learned that wearing multiple hats as lead actress, producer, writer and director, can be a recipe for disaster. However, I’m proud to say this film was shot and edited inside of  three months. It went on to premiere at the 2001 Urbanworld Film Festival.
