"I get much more from this than I give. Forming the foundation and creating and co-chairing the Screen Students program is an integral part of my life. The entertainment industry is wonderful, but it can sometimes challenge one's sense of passion and commitment. Working with our students reminds me why creativity matters. It gives me hope for the future. It brings me an amazing amount of joy." |
