Prompted by the death of a beloved actor with a very distinctive sound (as well as some coaxing from family), she decides to take a big leap and participate in a Shakespeare &#8220;sonnet slam&#8221; as a way to wrestle with her fear.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of creating my own project had been in the back of my mind for a while, but it never seemed to go beyond conversations with friends about making silly iPhone films or scribbling script ideas in my journal. Then, Alan Rickman passed away. My favorite actor in the world gone, just days after the passing of another huge influence, David Bowie. (Damn you, 2016!)<\/p>\n<p>It was a punch in the gut and a reminder that waiting until tomorrow&#8230;or next month, or next year&#8230;is not always an option. So, I took a huge leap out of my theater comfort zone and made this film. It may not change the world or win any awards, but it&#8217;s a sweet little story and a nod &amp; tribute to one of my heroes. I started it. I finished it. I&#8217;m putting it out there. And, that&#8217;s enough.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-278\" src=\"http:\/\/nicolemclaughlinlublin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Voice-Recorder.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nicolemclaughlinlublin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Voice-Recorder.png 400w, https:\/\/nicolemclaughlinlublin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Voice-Recorder-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #67074e;\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Frances: &nbsp;Nicole McLaughlin-Lublin<br \/>\nDr. Ramos: &nbsp;Katie Sim\u00f3n Atkinson<br \/>\nJohn: &nbsp;Doug Kusak<br \/>\nDebra: &nbsp;Carrie Williams<\/p>\n<p>Sonnet Slam Participants: &nbsp;Kanela Booker, Billy Hallal, Dale Hopkins, Brian Pedaci, Bryan Ritchie, Peter Toomey, and Monica Zach<\/p>\n<p>Writer\/Director: &nbsp;Nicole McLaughlin-Lublin<br \/>\nDirector of Photography: &nbsp;Jeremy Lublin<br \/>\nAD: &nbsp;Monica Zach<br \/>\nSound Recording: &nbsp;John Powell<br \/>\nEditing: &nbsp;Nicole McLaughlin-Lublin<br \/>\nSound Editing\/Foley: &nbsp;John Powell &amp; Kyle Hartzell<\/p>\n<p>Composer: &nbsp;Mark Meilander<\/p>\n<p>Follow the film!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pleasingsound\">Twitter<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pleasingsoundfilm\/?hl=en\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A short film about self-acceptance and stepping outside our comfort zones.
