I spend the afternoon photographing Jocelyn Garrity this summer for her promotional pieces. This young, full of life girl has placed herself right where she wants to be: in the middle of it all. Her heart is for styling and helping people boost their self confidence by doing so. Jocelyn is at a prime time of learning, risking, and spreading her wings. I look forward to following this beautiful young girl into her new decade of discovery.      Friends, Family, Fans - Tomorrow is my 30th birthday and I’m so proud to be a part of this film at the turn of a decade in my life. As many of you know, we have been working so hard the last 6 months – 1 year on this film and now is one of the most important times that we invite YOU to be a part of this story. The crew is working like crazy to make the September deadline for Sundance Film Festival. Think about how many people will have the opportunity to learn more about life on the ground for Haitians if we get accepted!! This story is one of brotherhood and their dream to bring clean, easily accessible water to their people. Its come alive and this can have ripple effects for future investors in Haiti. My request: Will you give a gift of $30 for my 30th birthday?! For my birthday ‘thank you’, we will even be sending you a special gift when the film is released. Don’t forget to comment on the Kickstarter page! If you haven’t seen the newly released trailer yet, IT’S A MUST! Click on the link below… Thanks in advance for your love and generosity! Jess
> by admin show 1 comment If you are anything like me, you have to fight your mind in remembering ‘the now’. In this situation, I would consider myself quite good at taking in the moments around me. I surely don’t walk through life blindly, but it also doesn’t mean I allow all the miniature beauties to truly seep into my soul all at once. Reflection is something I’m rather fond of and I found myself doing that today while in post production for the La Source Movie project. It dawned on me that we won’t be returning in a few weeks, as we have been every month since March. We won’t be seeing the warmest smile from Chrismeddone and his family as we walk up the dirt path to their home. The shouts to whispers of, “Jessica”, from the kids trying to get my attention are a mere echo in my mind. These people of Haiti have impacted my life, my heart and my craft in visual storytelling. I’m honored that these fine people in La Source, Haiti call me, friend. Fingers crossed that we are able to fly back down to screen the final movie with them over the next year. The trailer is due out this week! I will be sharing it as soon as I can. I leave you with this image of Chrismeddone in church from our last visit. This man if faithful and true. His heart for the Lord is extracted through every wrinkle under his eyes and the width of his smile. Enjoy!
