Director's Statement

"Almost 5 years ago, as I watched many of the stories unfold in the mainstream media about the New Orleans I know and love. I was disturbed that I did not really see anyone from here having an opportunity to tell our stories in a manner that I felt was truthful, dignified and uplifting to the people of our city.  I decided that I could either wait for someone else to do it or take it upon myself to make the film I wanted to see.  I chose the latter."
