The film I helped create for the United Way Care to Change contest “Reach” won the workplace category. Yay!
It’s amazing to see something you wrote up on the big screen being appreciated. Especially knowing that an expert panel chose your work to win.
Denai Johnson of The Beat 94.5 (the host of the award ceremony) said she called her grandmother after she watched the movie. (It’s about the isolation of seniors and encourages viewers to “Reach” out.)
I’m so proud.
Writing Exercise:
What does the word reach mean to you? Do you reach for a goal or a hand? Ask yourself what you or your character are trying to reach for and then spend a few minutes exploring why. Happy writing.
