The Story
About "Zaila"
A troubled young woman struggles to put her mother's mental state back together after tragically losing her brother, while disregarding her own mental state by landing in a love triangle involving her therapist.
This story is hot, mysterious, dramatic, and action packed. If you are hoping to sit on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, then you’ve come to the right place. It has elements that have been seen in other successful series and films, such as layers of secrets, family drama and tension, a love triangle, psychological suspense, crime thriller, and mystery. It is complex, yet compelling.
Self-love can often come from the strangest of places.
The History
I started the story on a podcast platform, called, “buzzsprout.“ And from there, the momentum just allowed it to grow and spread to other platforms to accommodate people’s preferred storytelling apps (Apple Podcast, Spotify, Buzzsprout, Audible). I have been working on perfecting the craft of storytelling for such a long time, but to be able to get to this point (not at all perfect) in bringing one of my stories to life, is such an amazing gift and a blessing.
This daunting story has brought me both excitement and joy. In it, I am writing about more than just love and mystery. Don’t get me wrong, those two components are definitely in this story, but I am also writing about how important it is to forgive yourself for dealing with a scenario inappropriately, outrageously and rather rash but also the best and/or only way you knew how. 
Presently
At this present time, we're actively working on a sizzle. We've chosen the best scene from the podcast, and we're going to bring it to life and utilize it for beckoning support from the big wigs, however, the goal of this campaign is to create the right atmosphere, with the right equipment and the right professionals to make it hard to turn us down. We're aiming to have a product for you guys by mid-summer, and of course proof that we've begun working on the episode and that we've been accepted by Netflix, or Hulu, or Amazon or any other network that is willing to take a sporting chance on our big dream!
I've provided some links and I'd love for you guys to delve into the podcast, subscribe, share and talk about it on all of your platforms AND check out my story telling platforms on instagram and YouTube, so you'll see where my drive lies:

Sasha and I have worked together on multiple separate occasions. We have a photography history dating back to 2018. She is the photographer on all of my projects, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. There is a solid reason I keep reaching back out to her. She has never disappointed. in fact, our bond grew so strong that she taught me photography, and we both ended up being photographers at the critics choice awards this past award show season. Check out some of her work on instagram: @sashareneephoto
