I’d suggest to all filmmakers to make films that help to increase diversity while working to bring people together; Films that showcase the strength of the American Dream. Often many people here in the states take too many things for granted, however, others that are looking in from the outside are able to see the potential the U.S. has. Let’s continue to share that dream with the world.
