Carmen Marron

Carmen Marron had no desire to ever become a filmmaker. She was a guidance counselor in south Phoenix, and was working with kids; in an area similar to the community she grew up in- a rough neighborhood in Chicago. She met kids who reminded her of her friends growing up; who kept making the same choices that ruined their lives. Seeing that film and television was a way to reach out to kids, she decided to write a script about characters that mirrored their lives and hopefully inspire kids to make better choices. http://movieline.com/2011/05/09/meet-carmen-marron-hollywoods-most-improbable-auteur/
