Took Home 1st place in the AT&T CREATE-A-THON!

It all started with just an idea. An idea that was birthed last year as an assignment at UCLA in our Master's class for the professional: Acting for The Camera program. We had to do a mock pitch to producers but in order to do it, you had to have an idea or story. At that time, I had no idea that the experience I had a year ago would nurture what happened last night Oct 14, 2018. On October 2, 2018, I put that idea into a short film script and wrote it for AT&T's Create A- Thon. The Create- A -Thon was an amazing experience because not only did it challenge me, it opened doors in developing long lasting relationships. I just had a story and I wanted it told. We ended up winning 1st place in our screening room! We did it as a team! Some people on the team, I didn't even know and now, because of our similar creative minds will forever be friends! I want to say THANK YOU to my team!
