Director Statement

I was drawn to this project for many reasons: the music, the heartfelt story and the dedication of the writer/producer to get it done. Growing up on the Gulf Coast of Florida, country music is a way of life, and no one expresses it better than the Man in Black. Our main character, Carly North experiences a longing to find that missing thing in her life, which was a story very near to my heart. Making this film has been a long road - one I'm happy to have been a part of. I hope you enjoy watching it as much I enjoyed being part of making it.--Kim Cummings, Director: That's What She Told Me
