The Year COVID shutdown Interlochen
As the world went into isolation in early March to protect from the spread of COVID-19, Interlochen Arts Camp was forced to close its physical doors for the summer, meeting virtually instead.

This prestigious arts school in Northern Michigan took advantage of the time and asked me to dig into my archives and re-cut some of my old stories and produce six "new" pieces as well as create a sizzle reel to help support the launch of their new website - slated for the first quarter of 2021.
Preserving Humanity
Interlochen is one of those rare places whose goal it is to try to preserve our humanity. Creative people are defined by the way they think, and that thought process is rooted here at Interlochen Center for the Arts.

Passion Over Approval
Paige, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, realized that all she needed to do was to keep developing a love for the stage and let things happen as they may. In one short year, she came to the determination "that it was the passion that was going to make or break me, not the approval of anyone else."

The Power of Words
Nailah, from Avondale, Arizona, finds that the power of the written word can truly change the world in which we live in. "I write for myself so that I'm not afraid or angry because the world makes me frightened and furious ... and writing is me doing something about it."
