Early on in my relationship with Iman @imanskee we were on a road trip and I asked him “Would you look after me if I was blind?” He hesitated. A long pause. This then became a very deep conversation about commitment that lead to us exploring this theme deeper to create this film. Writing, producing and acting together with a beautiful team we created “ A Song for Gracie.” (Talk about commitment. 😝) We are so happy to share it on YouTube through @directorsnotes and celebrate everyone’s incredible talent to make this film come alive.

Im sitting on my father’s door step in Italy when he was a child. My beautiful Nonno Giovanni left to go to Australia for a better life after the war and called my family to come on a ship from Naples once he knew Australia was a good place for his family. My family. I sit here in Cercicati, Calabria reconnecting with family who still lives in Italy thinking of all who came before me, all the incredible brave ancestors who shaped our lives. I feel them close in this land. I want to heal their pain through my own healing. I want to love as fiercely and bravely as my Nonno did to try and find a better life for them. I am here because of all that came before me and I sit on the land with deep humilty and respect and say thank you to all my Italian lineage. I feel you so close deep in my blood. I will continue to tell stories from this land to honor you. I love you. 🇮🇹 ❤️ by @livsimone
