“I am ecstatic to be supported by women who believe in my intelligence and skill via the independent endeavor that is Seafaring Production House: a platform through which I can simultaneously work with my community, support people in need, and implore young girls to follow their passions, all while doing what I love: which has so far been the most joyous endeavor of my life.”

“Seafaring Production House is a dream-come-true for me. It is a privilege to be supported by so many other female filmmakers that trust in our vision and abilities. This gives us the opportunity to pass on support to the creative voices of other young filmmakers while also providing job and learning opportunities.”
