Thank you to everyone who believed in this story. To my family: Mom, Bro, Sis, Kat. My college professor for believing in the little people that could. My first director, who reminded me that story matters. The studio, my producer, director, makeup artists – I love you guys. The amazing cast and crew that made this story come alive and reason I am standing here today.
Thank you to everyone who inspired this story; this award is for and because of you.For every geek who holds a true gem in their heart and in the pages of their notebook, don’t give up on the world you’ve created.
