I want to personally welcome you and thank you for choosing to be here and for saying yes to ALIGNED—a different kind of movie.
It’s an honor and a privilege to connect with you.
Maybe you’re someone who values international indie films, LGBTQ+ stories, or meaningful conversations about growth and connection.
Perhaps you’re a creative spirit, a heart-led achiever, or someone simply looking to enjoy an honest and moving story. Whatever brought you here, I honor that. You made an incredible decision.
ALIGNED is more than a film; for some, it is a spark, an invitation to something meaningful, heartfelt, and transformative.
Two-thirds of LGBTQ+ young people recently reported experiencing anxiety and depression.
This is roughly twice the reported incidence in the general population, according to the NIH.
6 out of 10 face discrimination.
Nearly 40% have seriously considered suicide.
As positive role models are lacking in mainstream media, many queer youth are left navigating their deepest needs in a media landscape that rarely reflects the love, softness, and vulnerability they deserve.
Emotionally authentic stories like ALIGNED are needed to support our youth.
Furthermore, nearly 1 in 5 adults experience anxiety.
70% of high-achievers and creatives struggle with imposter syndrome and perfectionism, driven by a relentless inner critic whispering, “You’re not enough.”
ALIGNED gently shines a light onto these patterns and invites us to move through fear with courage, from self-sabotage to soulful self-love, and to begin learning to trust again.
Welcome to the work.
You’ll soon receive an email with all the details of how to watch ALIGNED once it is globally released.
Transformation always begins with a shift from within.
What you may not know is this:
ALIGNED wasn’t easy to make. I faced deep personal challenges—moments where I was paralyzed by fear, stuck in self-sabotage, and overwhelmed by emotions I didn’t yet know how to hold. I never imagined this film would one day win awards or that I’d be invited to speak at conferences around the world. But here we are. What once felt like an impossible challenge became the catalyst for one of my most meaningful achievements,
while also accelerating my personal growth and coaching practice.
Thank you for being here.
Until we meet in person, I’m sending you a big heart-to-heart hug.
