Appreciation

How much do you appreciate life? An interesting question but a very hard to answer. How do you measure appreciation for life? What kind of quantity can you make? You can’t. It is as simple as that You cannot define something intangible. However, you can tell when you personally appreciate life more then you did before. Different instances in your life such as death or births or disease will help you appreciate what you have. One reason I am doing my capstone on JoAnn Esposito is because it give hope to those who don’t have any and helps those who do appreciate what they have.
“Living Strong” is a documentary on JoAnn Esposito. It takes you on a journey through her stage 4-breast cancer, from beginning to end. All the way through her treatments to whom and what kept her motivated. More impressive still she manages a Breast Cancer Research Foundation called Par For the Cure. She is cancer free now and spends her time raising money for Par for the Cure. Par for the Cure takes place in Las Vegas, where they have a celebrity Golf tournament. While her son raising money and coordinates efforts on the West side JoAnn Focuses her energy here. In New Castle, she raises thousands of dollars for breast cancer research. All of the money goes straight to the breast cancer research, specifically to Dr. Slamon. A new castle native, who along with his team came up with a new drug that fights HER-2 cancer. As you go on the journey looking at the strength and courage, she had during this time you will find yourself amazed that one person could go through so much. In the end, I want my video to be an inspiration to others. I want people to appreciate life because it could be gone in an instant. I will produce direct run crew all on a budget of nothing to produce a 10-minute film. I will premiere it on Tuesday December 2nd in Mueller Theater at 5:00pm. Designed in accordance with the documentary is a poster and a trailer.
