step holds.
2018
2021
Being Lucy's first cousin,
I felt a sense of personal significance while working on this project. To encourage audiences to view misfortune in a positive manner, embracing hope rather than pity, I strove to highlight Lucy's valuable life lessons and their application towards personal struggle.
Then,
We Love Lucy
was born.
Lucy is my first cousin.
When I first met Lucy in 2018, I was enthralled by the ways she can make those around her feel. Immediately taken in by her warmth and smile, I knew that I had to share the tender, welcoming feeling she gave me. So I did.
With the creation of We Love Lucy, I aim for several things, but, most importantly, that it will grow and strengthen people's preconceived notions of unity and humanity. I hope that people may see a side of Lucy that they don't commonly see, a side with the capacity to open people's hearts.
I hope that this documentary raises awareness and support for NKH research while also offering a glance under the surface into each NKH family's victories and strides, since that is, after all, the most inspiring reflection of their compassion: their ability to blossom.
This is the capacity of art. It has the potential to amend people's perspectives regarding the world, which is why I believe We Love Lucy is the most important thing I can do for Lucy and those around me.
I love you, Lucy
