NEW Project "SELFLESS"
Casting Call
In its current state, my project is an ambitious endeavor to bring the captivating story based off the book "Playing the Hand I Was Dealt" by Chanel Rose Budd to life on the screen. This film "SELFLESS" aims to shine a spotlight on the struggles faced by a young woman in Pittsburgh during the challenging times of the 1980s and 90s. It depicts her relentless battle to overcome numerous obstacles, such as the detrimental effects of crack addiction on parents, the need to escape her neighborhood, the complexities of raising a child, and the constant effort to maintain a harmonious marriage while pursuing her dream of becoming a successful business owner.
