Hey everyone,
I just wanted to share a major proud parent moment. My daughter, Yumna Jane, wrote, co-directed, and starred in an indie film project called There Should Be Flowers. She had to put it on the back burner for a while after a brutal summer, but things are finally gaining some serious momentum! Our friends, family, and neighbors all contributed as extras or provided access to locations.
It was a total grassroots effort funded almost completely by Yumna, friends, our family, and some donations from her fund raising site after the initial filming. Her friend Maddie brought the technical filmmaking know-how, managing to secure equipment lent by a college, while a group of fellow students took it on as their senior project. They absolutely crushed it.
My wife and I basically served as the ultimate roadies—hauling heavy gear, feeding the crew, playing airport chauffeur for the actors, and taking care of all the grunt work. They even featured my old 1995 F150 (affectionately known as "Eddie") as the main vehicle in the movie! Who knew my dump runner would be needed by a younger generation?
The movie is written from a LGBTQIA+ perspective, if that is a non-starter for you please stop here and have a great day.
Otherwise if you have a few minutes, I’d love for you to take a look and check out their hard work:
