Please hold my brother and his spiritual community at the Islamic Center of San Diego in your prayers. Stand in solidarity with them against this heartbreaking and deplorable violence. My brother said that one of the victims, the security guard that would greet them every Friday, that he and his wife just had a baby two months ago. 💔

Join us next week for a special online screening of LIGHT BUNNY, as part of the @ashestofilms online showcase!

I will also participate in a virtual Q & A right after the screening!

It’s only 5$ and you get o support an incredible organization ❤️❤️❤️

LINK IN BIO!

I’m so excited to announce that Light Bunny has been officially selected for the 2026 Wyoming International Film Festival (and what a gorgeous laurel!)

The festival will be held in beautiful Cheyenne, Wyoming from July 8 - 12, and we’re honored to be part of this year’s lineup!

I’ve been a big fan of Rudi Womack’s YouTube channel, The Film Festival Guide. His insight and guidance have seriously helped us navigate the film festival submission world, and his content is a big part of why this festival has been on our radar for so long.

So grateful for the selection and excited for what’s ahead!

Stay tuned!

Thank you to everyone @wyomingfilmfestand our incredible cast and crew ❤️❤️❤️

Eric's story:

On March 15th, 2026 at 5:45am, I was awakened by a phone call from my Mother with the terrible news that my sister Erica, affectionately known as Coco, had suffered a near fatal fall from her 3rd story balcony. She called to let me talk with Coco and pray before she went into emergency spinal surgery, with a 50/50 chance of walking again. I couldn’t believe what I had just awakened to. After a successful surgery, Coco spent time in shock trauma.
On March 20th, she was moved to a rehabilitation facility, and has been working with physical, occupational, and recreational therapists, on her journey to wholeness. We are expecting nothing but miraculous healing; and that Coco will not only walk again, but be even stronger than she was before the fall.
With this unimaginable circumstance, we are doing all that we can as a family to show up and support Coco in every way possible. She certainly has all the fortitude, resilience, and determination to do everything in her power to make it to the other side of this traumatic experience. But it won’t be an easy task.
We’re launching a community-based fundraiser to alleviate some of the financial stress that this accident has caused Coco. With all of the different appointments and services required for her healing, I don’t want her to be focused on anything other than her goal of walking again. Because she won’t be able to work during this time, we are doing our best to make sure she doesn’t suffer from a lack of resources when it comes to access to the care she will certainly need.
If you know my sister, you know how big her heart is, and how much she has done for the community. We’re reaching out to the community to hold her up in this time of uncertainty; and thanking you all in advance for your prayers, well wishes, and any support you can offer during our time of need.
With much LOVE and gratitude, Eric, and the whole family!
