HelloChrissy's Journal

Okay, so this may be a shameless plug about my latest labor of love.... but Seven Pounds, the new Will Smith movie is so much more than a movie.  It's a hero's journey about a man who sets out to find redemption but instead, much to his chagrin, falls in love. 

I found this script just over 2 years ago.  An agent sent to me and asked me what I thought about it.  I fell in love with the character and his journey.  I knew that this was a story that needed to be told.  I gave it my husband and we met with the writer.  We all worked together until we were happy with the script.  Once the script was shaped, my husband sent it to Will Smith.  And Will, thankfully, loved the project.  

My husband, the writer and cast and crew worked tirelessly on the film.  It was an incredibly hard story to tell and it was tough bringing it to the big screen.  But with such a talented group of people working on the project.... they were able to pull it off.

While I didn't work on the actual production, I did manage to score my first screen credit (co-producer) and I'm extremely proud of the film.

I hope everyone will go and see this amazing love story.  Will Smith does an amazing job with this deeply disturbed character and Rosario Dawson is downright incredible.

I think this film is so important on so many levels... without giving away the subject matter, I think it really makes people think, feel, hurt & love all at once.  It raises awareness on so many levels.

So, if anyone is reading my journal and they have some time to see this incredible movie this weekend... I would love to hear your thoughts!
