Today begins my journey.

A month from today, God willing, I will be shooting the trailer for BLINDLY BOUND, my First Movie as a Director. I have had experience Directing before but nothing on this type of scale, and nothing this personal.

I find it fitting that today, Thursday, March 17, 2011 is the day I started this web page for my film because it is the Anniversary of my Uncle's death. His death was a Huge lesson for me in life to Not to put things off because you Never know if you will have that opportunity again. You see, I hadn't seen my Uncle in the hospital for a couple of weeks, however, I was on my way to my boyfriends house when my mother turned to me and said, "Lillybeth, if you can go spend time with your boyfriend, you can Make time to see your sick Uncle who is in the hospital on the way to your boyfriends house." I fussed a bit, because at the time I was  a teenager, and then I finally gave in. The truth was I was so used to seeing my Uncle strong that I was scared to see him sick and weak. I thank God that I listened to my mother because my Uncle died that night. Had I not gone to visit him it would haunt me to this day that I had the opportunity but didn't take it. I'm blessed that I got the chance to hug him and tell him I loved him and that I would be the First Person in our family to finish High School. I will never forget the look he gave me when he said, "Chispi, I'm so proud of you." That will Always be with me.

I say to you all, Do Not Put Off What You Know in Your Heart is Right and what You Should be doing in your Life. You really just Never know if you'll have that opportunity again,  take the chance.

So, in Honor of my Uncle Felix, I'm No longer putting off what I know I need to do and that is make this film by any means necessary.

Thank you all, and don't let situations make you feel Blindly Bound. Open your Eyes and Break Free.

Love,
Lillybeth
