She contributes to a cluster of online and offline platforms, and her radio shows, Cin's Chat Corner and Sons Spotlight, hold a total of 95,000 listeners spread across twenty states with a 12% international following.

MISSION STATEMENT:

With all that is happening in the world, I aspire as a Festival Founder to help families stay active and in tune with the arts. I have seen through my other festivals how cinema makes people feel -energized and enriched. They love to be entertained and enchanted. Going to the movies provides audiences with an escape from the evils in our country. Moreover, many have been at home and losing hope, and I wish to motivate so very many to move from their couches and get back into cinemas.


Recently, my partner and myself visited Oshkosh to look at locations to host my main film festival, Art is Alive. We came across a dynamic array of different venues, along with some sensational residents. I felt comfortable, and heard by the town locals that they would welcome life going back to the basics. Hence, here I am, attempting to bring art to Oshkosh.


I will be showcasing a total of 18 films over a span of two days, along with a workshop on acting and screenwriting. I will be offering this event as both a live and virtual offering.
