I'm Going to Houston!
I'm excited to announce my film "The Visitors," is a 2018 Finalist in the Cinespace Short film Competition Co-Sponsored by NASA and The Houston Cinema Arts Society. Richard Linklater will be deciding the winners! So excited and grateful for this opportunity. THANK YOU!!!!!!
I had an amazing time at the Houston Cinema Arts Festival. My film "The Visitors, " took home 3rd place. I starred, co - wrote and co - produced this film. I met so many wonderful new friends and experienced many great events and performances. It is an honor to be included in the Cinespace/ Houston Cinema Arts Festival.

I stayed at The Four Seasons Houston. The beds were dreamy and the cozy lounge chair was a perfect way to relax between events.

At the Bayou and Bottle, I enjoyed some new twists on the classic "Old Fashioned," served up by the warm crew in The Four Seasons cocktail lounge. One of the best hotel lobby bars I've seen.
​
The "Dr. Pepper Old Fashioned," is a rich, deliciously sweet boozy cocktail that hits ya, in a good way at first sip. If you prefer a zingy taste try the "old '97," a zesty and refreshing bourbon cocktail served over crushed ice. Adult Icee, anyone?
​
I also enjoyed the "Part Time Lover." Our host, Gervin, was a bit surprised as he said the herbal taste of the Montenegro Amaro and the rich taste of the black strap rum is often too intense of a flavor combination for most. Not for me, I loved it.
​
The crafty bartender even made the perfect "Paper Plane," a cocktail my friend Christina introduced me to at the closing night party. Cheers!

One of the perks of being a Cinespace finalist is the tour of NASA. Amazing! The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory is an astronaut training facility. The HUGE pool holds 6.2 million gallons of water! Full scale mock - ups of space vehicles and equipment live under water so the astronauts can train.
Exploring NASA!
