There are tons of men, women and even…

important scene in my film is the flashback of the little girl’s life before type 1 diabetes. In order to create a lot of emotion with the audience, the scene will include a slow, sad song such as the instrumental version on “Concrete Angel” by Martina McBride. The instrumental version of the song allows the audience to focus on the family’s emotions rather than the song itself. All of these sound elements really create and help demonstrate the theme of the film. The sounds I am choosing…

I was born in North Carolina on April 4th 1998.
