- As an author, screenwriter and poet I believe in challenging our parameters, questioning our universe and transcending the expected. I have a relentless passion for producing creative, meaningful films and remain committed to making a difference. Excited by the creative process, weaving words together to evoke a visceral experience for the viewer and because I am so visually oriented, I love writing screenplays to see them be beautifully produced and with the intention to evoke positive changes in the world.

- Thanks Michael! And yes, it's a wee bit different life in the islands...
This project "Beyond Avalon" (did you watch my teaser video?) is a film set in the future and based out of Arthurian legends woven together with Celtic & Eastern mythology. I've been in preproduction without funding locked in, though I do have a producer who says he is taking it to investors. Attaching/signing talent or the best director (for this project) to the film would make a difference.
Wishing you awesome success with your projects!
Aloha,
Saundra
