When a tattooed rough young man from the Projects, came down and hugged me after a screening of my film “Stay down!”, a dark film about street violence . After the hug the young man looked at me with tearful  eyes and said, “Thank you for making a film about my life”. Touching a person’s inner core like that was a powerful feeling to experience.
