Why did you become involved in your profession or industry?:
She became involved in her profession because she is connected with her business partner Ken Green, who has a lot of media experience. He came up with the idea for a hybrid film, part documentary, about the character of a man who wanted to academically look at the dying process, and ask very important questions. In the course of making the documentary, he loses a daughter in an accident, and is diagnosed with a terminal illness. It deals with looking at the unfinished business of life, trying to deliver information about what it is to face into death, and also talking about this man's experience, facing his grief, and then his own mortality.
