“Our film is a short, and we only needed to shoot over one weekend. The first day of shooting was held at Geri Muck’s agency, Protocol Models on the Gulf.

Geri was so nice to allow us to shoot at her office She is a talent agent and ended up playing one in the film as well. She was great!” – UFTA Treasurer Carrie Belluso
