I would like to talk about the strike [Hollywood Writers Guild], and how
frustrating it is for everyone who just wants to get back to work. That being said, I do hope that the
writers get the rights that they deserve. So during the strike I have taken the opportunity to delve into
my own work. My father and I are getting close to solidifying the funds for my next film "Love Orchard", written by my father, in which I will produce and star.
This film deals with the illegal immigration crises we are having in this country. Love Orchard follows the life of an immigrant family who faces deportation of their youngest daughter who is 3. My
character tries the case on a national level, and fights for the rights of the family and the little girl.
Next week My father and I will be traveling to France for the Gerardmer International Film Festival
where I will be on the jury. We will then be headed to Berlin where I will host a benefit for the MyLife
Project, to get kids of the street in South Africa. This event is open to anyone who wants to support the cause. For details go to http://www.travel-suedafrika.de and contact Alicyn. During the Berlin Film Festival, I will speak at the Cinema for Peace event, proceeds go to UNICEF.
Last and certainly not least, I would like to make the first announcement of my engagement to
actor Noah Danby. We plan too marry in The Spring. In the meantime, believe in and follow your dreams...
Thank-you for your continued support.
