Human Experience Through the Lens
BY KATIE GREISIGER, GILBERT, USA - There are soooo many exciting things going on in my life right now...I am looking for a new career, I have to start preparing my promotions campaign for the International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival that will be in October in Tempe, Ariz., and of course working on this revolutionary project for Zambia and Mesa Community College. I like that things always seem to fall in to place...almost by accident but always for a reason. The "mistakes" and challenges in life are what make us stronger. I know I have had my fair share...but I have no regrets and always remember to look for a solution and meaning during hard times.
That is what I see in the script, BAD TIMING; the strength of the characters and the story. I think audiences of all cultures will be able to relate to the emotions and struggles of the characters. I do not think that differences in culture will necessarily take away from the human experience, rather it will remind us how being unique is what inspires creativity and learning.
I am very excited to be a part and of course SEE the film! It will be great to join an audience in a dark theatre and try and listen for their reactions or watch their eyes widen during pivotal moments. I can't imagine a better feeling knowing that I get to help teach other people about the project, Zambia and what MCC and Arizona filmmakers are able to accomplish. It is all very inspiring to take risks and be more ambitious.
