Emily Hagins inspires me! Her passion for filmmaking as well as her ability to finish projects is a giant mirror in which I dare not stare. Let’s face it, for a 12-year-old to make a full-length film, she has to not only be passionate about what she’s doing, but determined and willing to work her [...]

By unleashing my muse, I force my left-brain tendencies to take a back burner to my right-brain urges, which have been strangled, hardly [...]
