For almost three years I have been following @stefanieroe04 in some of her most hard and intimate times after loosing her son to a Fentanyl overdose back in 2021. Stoked to say we have come out the other side with a full length film but we need a little help to get it finished and out to audience's. We are running a @seedandspark crowdfunding campaign for the next 30 days to help with the post-production and distribution phase of this project. Anything you can contribute would mean the world to us and help us get this urgent message out. Thank you so much for the support!
You can learn more about the project in the link in our bio.

Little behind-the-scenes from San Pedro Sula, Honduras! The local Rotary club were some of the best people and took amazing care of our team while we were there.

Recently went to San Pedro Sula, Honduras to film a medical team perform open heart surgery on a group of Honduran kids. It’s truly remarkable what the team over at @heartgiftfoundation are doing to save lives around the world. Very grateful I was allowed to tag along and capture their work in a short documentary that we screened at their annual fundraising gala. Will remember this one for a long time.

Thank you so much to everyone that came out for the private screening of Tuckers Law, it was truly an amazing night for independent cinema. This is only the beginning of this films journey but getting to screen it in a theater with over 100 people was an experience. We made this film to be viewed in a theater and hope to be bringing it to more cinemas in 2026!

The @tuckerproject is focused solely on providing fentanyl education to grades 6-12. Passed in 2023, Tuckers Law went into effect mandating educational curriculum be implemented in schools yet the state of Texas didn’t provide guidance on what that is. @stefanieroe04 and @jennbentonstevens took responsibility and created the curriculum and have successfully implemented it in many other states yet Texas has still yet to adopt it.

Three years ago, Carilu and I were begging anyone who would listen to care about the fentanyl crisis. That’s when Lake Travis reached out — and where I met Ryan, a firefighter who sees fentanyl tragedies every day. He also had a passion for film. 🎥
Ryan started following my journey… the real, the raw, and the painful. For three years he showed up, mic’d me up, and captured the highs, the lows, the heartbreak, and the healing.
Together, we wrapped it into a 90-minute documentary that tells the truth about fentanyl and the fight to save lives.
Now we’re raising funds to help Ryan and his producer finish this film and get it into the world.
If you feel led, please donate through the link in my bio. Every dollar helps. 💛
Thank you for your support, your prayers, and for walking this journey with me.
It’s hard… but worth it.

This film doesn't shy away from grief and the shear amount that is carried by all the families effected by fentanyl. I sought to capture not just the advocacy side of what @stefanieroe04 and @carilubell were doing but also the metaphysical journey they were on having both lost a child. This is something that can be hard to capture on film as it requires very intimate moments with your subjects and allowing them to act and feel as if they werent being filmed.
Carilu is the founder of the Angel Mom program, a support network that helps with families who have lost.
We are one week into our crowdfunding campaing and still need help getting greenlit! Make a donation with the @seedandspark link in my bio! Any amount helps get this story out.

This story was deeply personal to me. As a firefighter here in the Austin area, I have seen the toll fentanyl and other drugs have taken ln our communities. Although it’s not an everyday occurrence, when you look at the data, it shows a real problem for cities across the country.

It is staggering to see the amount of people we have lost to Fentanyl just here in the US. In 2023 alone, we lost more than the last 60 years of war. If this isn’t a second war front, then I don’t know what is.
