I'm an actor, author, dancer, director, filmmaker, model, producer, professor and screenwriter. Having worked in the industry more than 20 years and run successful businesses, I love using my gifts to make a difference and be a Change Agent in every project that I work on. Some examples would be assisting organizations with fundraising, community service and promoting their products and services.
Additionally, assisting organizations make their projects a reality by being a Subject Matter Expert or providing counseling or mentoring on a as needed basis.
As organizations have to reinvent themselves or mission statements, The ICC Group tries to come along side them by providing support when needed. ICC Publications, an extension of The ICC Group, provides ghost writing services and Referral Advisor Forumpay. Most importantly, a decent human being.
Unique traits: Multi-lingual (ASL, English, French, Spanish, Some Italian, Some Portuguese)
The Graduate Student (Based on My Experience) Budget: $10M - $30M | Family After having a successful career in corporate America and as a entrepreneur, the business executive decided to return to graduate school, human resource management and philanthropy, to become a change agent as a philanthropist by using her film projects on Stage 32 to achieve those goals.

The Tree that saved a life-Faith Based on true events (Like in The Bible) Budget: $1M - $5M | Other As the wind blew through the fabric of her lime green jumpsuit, the rain drenched dancer held onto the tree for dear life, like her life depended on it in the hurricane with wind gust blowing so quickly that she almost lost her footing, she hung onto the tree with all her might and strength because letting go was not an option, she would have been blown into the intersection with oncoming traffic. The tree had become a symbol of love that would weather many storms, trials and tribulations by its appearance, green grass had grown in the form of a dancer and her love, a mystery man, becoming as one on the side of the tree which had been there for countless years as a symbol of their love. (The video clip of the tree is posted on my Stage 32 Wall and on the videos page.)

(Song “How can I ease the pain” by Lisa Fischer 1991 the song which I have listened to it live in concert and now have seen the video- Ms. Fischer captures the sentiment from that chapter in Searching for the Perfect Place.) This project will be a great illustration of a Buddy Film. See Stage 32 Glossary for definition.
