    Traveled from Florida to Georgia and it was well worth the trip. Got a chance to say hi to Dean Cain and talk with a lot of interesting people, that truly love the filmmaking business. Everyone I met was very friendly, shared a lot of information with me, and I truly enjoyed the positive atmosphere. Got to meet with producer Jason Campbell who shared his knowledge with us that will truly be of use as we move forward. My film, that I produced and directed, "Renovations - A Place For Hope" was an official film selection among these great christian/family films.
    I'm grateful and appreciate the opportunity. Look forward to working with them as we continue to make great films. Thank you Jason and all those who where such a delight to meet with.

    Thanks again,
