Magic Power of the Word...

"As filmmakers we must start to define what's "commercial" on our own terms. That word gets tossed around according to the gatekeepers that be. Be confident in your creations, our films are marketable, our stories are relevant, our images are meaningful!" - Ada M. Babino -
