Today is such a special day for me. Making movies has always been my dream, but it’s been a long road filled with hard work, sacrifices, and a lot of time away from my family but today I’m excited to share that I have received fantastic news—I have been nominated for a Suncoast Emmy as a Director for my film *Awake Before Dawn*. This prestigious recognition includes the southern region of the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and I couldn't be more grateful for this opportunity. Now I just have to win!
