Hi family and friends, as you know, I love story telling. Although my life was centered around 4H and FFA growing up, I found my true joy when I got in front of a camera and started to play pretend. In Tow recently got accepted to showcase at the 30th Annual Austin Film Festival (AFF) which is such an HONOR because that's In Tow's home and also the biggest festival in Austin for film making. We ALSO got accepted into the New Orleans Film Festival, which is the largest film festival in the Southern region of the United States. It's a big deal for us and for me as well because I love film and one day aspire to make one myself, starring yours truly.

I've been acting for 7 years now and I can proudly say that I've starred in two HBO short films, have won Best Actor at STXIFF, have been on a Lifetime show, and have starred in films that have won countless awards with my help of bringing them to life. It's a team effort really but I'm proud to say I've been in them!

Although my journey isn't as fast as Grupo Frontera's is (shout out to them for representing!) my dream is similar in that I want to showcase the Valley and it's jente full of talent and culture. Like in Matthew 25 "The Parable of Talents", I want to be the servant who was given five talents and went at once to trade and mulitply his talents.

Your donation is going to fuel my body with food and housing from October 26th - November 7th, as well as purchase a ticket for AFF. I really need a place to stay and since I don't work remote so I would not be generating income from this period of time either. Therefore, your donation would be doing a grand amount of things for me, like: fufilling dreams, filling my tummy, putting a roof over my head for this period of time, and educating me so that I can bring back my talent and share it with the community when I get my Sandbox Acting Studio up and running in 2024.

I want to say thank you with my whole heart for your continued love and support that not everyone is fortunate enough to have. I cannot express how grateful I am for your donation that propels my dreams.

Donations of $5 will be mailed an exclusive In Tow pin with my face on it! lol

Donations of $20 (non annonymous) will be mailed an exclusive In Tow postcard, signed by myself, and an In Tow pin.

Donations of $40 (non annonymous) will be mailed an exclusive In Tow poster signed by actors and director Sharon Arteaga, along with an In Tow pin.

Donnations of $100 (non annonymous) will be mailed an exclusive In Tow poster or postcard of choice with a custom, handmade (by me) seed bead keychain with your choice of initials, and of course, an In Tow pin with my face on it!

If you donate annonymously, just know, I wish I could send you something but just know you are cherished.

You don't have to donate with those amounts, I'll accept any amount of donation you can share with me, even if it's just a dollar or even more than a hundred. *giggle* :)

Much love and appreciation,

Katy
