We’re currently casting for my new series Buried Emotions. This got me thinking about why I want to make this series so badly. What’s the point? I knew I wanted to help the families of the deceased, because I recognize that long after the yellow crime scene tape is removed or the brightly colored flowers on their grave have lost their color and died, the families are left picking up the pieces of their lives and learning how to get out of bed in the morning and exist. I want to help the families who mourn to ‘rejoin the living’.
I noticed a long time ago that grieving people hold their breath or take very shallow breaths. They go through the motions of life but they’re not exactly living. They’re robotically moving through life, suffering in silence. All I want to do is help these families to live again and I want people who are watching Buried Emotions to see the transformation when the color returns to a mother’s face. I want them to see her smile for the first time since she lost her son. To be able to speak for the dead is a huge responsibility, but some of us are wired to do so. I’m taking it to the next level by showing you the process of reconnection; reconnecting the living with dead. Buried Emotions is about resurrecting the living!
