#GOALS. This project has been three years in the making. The idea was suggested to me by a writer/producer/director friend, former employer and mentor, Joel Soisson, who graciously offered his services to me shortly after I lost my Noodle. I attempted to enlist the services of two other producers, but one got busy and one got….(no nice way to say it, so I won’t.) Let’s just say, things didn’t work out. I guess I have to do it myself! That said, I will be calling upon all of my former colleagues in film and TV. You’ve been warned.
Let Me Be Amazing
A Short Film
Honoring a Life That Can Never Be Replaced
Written in love, by her Mom Mom
THE STORY IN ONE SENTENCE
The story of a young woman who broke barriers on the field, a bad-ass on the court, was loved by hundreds, gone too soon — and the family still fighting for the justice she deserves.
OVERVIEW
LET ME BE AMAZING is a short documentary portrait film — roughly 20 to 30 minutes in length — that tells the story of an extraordinary young woman: athlete, coach, student, pioneer, beloved daughter and fiercely protective big sister. She was the first girl in the history of her school to play on the varsity football team. She was a four-sport athlete in high school, a college student, a professional women’s football player, and a basketball coach whose influence reached far beyond any scoreboard.
Although, we and the world, lost her on 6/4/22. this film does not dwell in tragedy. It dwells in her. It is structured in three movements — Joy, Legacy, and Love That Remains — and it is told through the voices of those who knew her best: her family, her coaches, her teammates, and the students whose lives she changed.
Her story is inspiring, not because of her death, but because of who she was while she lived and the impact she had on so many. The film will honor that distinction.
STAY TUNED.
