Word to My Mother.
To the mothers we know by voice before we ever know by name.
To every mother who made mountains move, and suns shine on days that seem bleek.
To every mother who loved us in a tongue the world tried to make us forget.
To the women who became mothers to a child that’s not their own.
To the mothers — ours, theirs, yours. Thank you for your selflessness and love.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. I always have time for you.
To the mother who taught you what love sounded like before you had the words for it — tag her. Send this to her.

Over the past year I’ve played a role in some amazing projects. From working with great crews to leading projects of my own. Grateful for the opportunities and people I’ve met. Always learning each day as a director/producer.
To bigger projects, more creativity, and (hopefully) bigger budgets lol. Excited for the future.

“My mom was lively and embarrassing sometimes — but always authentically herself. I wish she could still embarrass me again.”
The ones who lived loud and true are the ones we miss the loudest.

“My mom can’t cook. So why did we skip school to watch Power Rangers?”
Sometimes love isn’t in the meal. It’s in the morning she chose you over everything else.

“My mom is living her actor’s dream through me — so I could live mine.”
Some mothers hand their dreams down like an inheritance. Some of us are still learning how to carry them.
