"The Portrait" is an exciting opportunity to create a world that noon has yet seen and he approaches this project with anticipation and great joy. Cinema, like life, is a collaborative art form. Ty would like to congratulate his fellow crewmembers in their hard work and creative pursuits as well as thank those who have challenged and supported him in learning and growing thus far.

She feels so incredibly blessed to be with wonderful friends and to attend at a great school where the focus is on "God First". None of this would be possible without Jesus Christ, her funny and supportive family, and friends. "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 (NIV)
