Biography
I am in the process of turning one of my scripts, “Live For Today,” into a movie. The unique thing about this movie is that it will be directed, filmed, edited, acted, and with a musical score done with high school students from Katy, Texas.
The story is about a broken promise that takes a seventeen-year-old boy down a suicidal path of self-destruction. Will the persistence of his coach and the love of a girl be enough to save him.
