“I am a mother of 3 daughters and have been married for 10 years, I used my daughters as actors in the Law & Disorder film. My husband filmed and edited the footage and our close family friend directed the filming. I used my children because I wanted the children to feel special and to make them apart of something that could be treasured and remembered forever; to create a timeless piece and a public declaration of what is important to me; my husband, children, my family, my dreams.
My husband has given me the strength to pursue my goals has been tremendously supportive, helping look after the children whilst I concentrated on my work. He is multi-skilled and has used his expertise of music production, multimedia and graphic design to aid me in my journey. As well as working for his own business he found time to produce the soundtrack for the film, which he also filmed and edited. He generally does all my graphic artwork, when needed”
