Marissa Parness - ACTRESS - "Emily Waters"
Recent graduate of the musical theatre program at circle in the square theatre school in New York, Marissa Parness, in many ways, made the film possible. In every scene Marissa left her heart and soul on the screen and I will be forever grateful for her week in week out effort. If every experience in working with someone is this easy – I cannot wait to make more films. She is currently seeking representation in New York City.

Elizabeth Plevy - ACTRESS - "Young Emily"

There are several pieces of the puzzle that always make projects like this work and one of the major elements is Steve Bordelon and his numerous skillsets. Steve has helped with everything from script notes to Sound Design. He is a tireless team member and awesome Director in his own right (with his award winning film "Phoenix"). Having helped Produce Jesse's last feature "Shades of Gray" - Steve has truly made himself an invaluable asset for many years.

Victor Gonzalez - CREATIVE CONSULTANT
Victor's contribution is hard to describe as he'll do anything to help keep things moving. From a top level, Victor helped make a lot of the key decisions that went into planning the film. From the ground floor, he sat through editing sessions and offer invaluable advice. He even came to the shoots to make sure everyone and everything is safe. He is another long time friend (and cast member of "Shades of Gray") who makes it all tick. If surrounding yourself with good people is the key to success, I (Jes) must already be successful :)

Charles Parra - ONLINE CONSULTANT
Charles brings the X-factor to everything web. It's like I (Jes) went out and found someone who could fill in all my dumb gaps and make me seem smarter. He is helping to run the base of operations around here and make sure we are able to reach as many people as we can with our little (BIG!) film. He is also working on making things more fun and interactive as we go and I thank him from way down for all the support.
