I have never worked so hard before in my life. I feel as if I am being pulled in a million directions, everyone needs something, a question answered, a clarification demanded....but I am LOVING every moment of it.

The other night I laid in my bed staring at the ceiling and I imagined my mother walking onto set and introducing her to everyone that was making her story a reality. I smiled at the thought, my eyes welled as the reality sunk in that in a mere 21 days my mom would do just that, look into the eyes of 35 strangers and trust that we will be true to her story. I am humbled by this reality. I am grateful to everyone that is giving their time, their energy and their belief in the story Gloria and I want to tell.

I must confess that over the last two years there have been moments when I wanted to stop. But when I was simply too tired, confused and lacked confidence, it was that image of my mother on set that kept me going. It was the hope that I would be able to give a small gift to my mother in order to show her how much I appreciated all of her sacrifices.
