QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What makes Inspiration different?
Inspiration is unique because it presents a universal human experience through the voice of a young girl. The main character, Claire, faces some critical questions: "Who am I?" "How do I want my life to be?" "If I follow my path will the people I love still be there for me?" As a pre-teen, Claire is navigating these challenges of identity and independence for the first time, yet she will continue to face them in forms -- as all people do over the course of their lives. Because she continues to press forward despite her doubts and fears, she reminds viewers of all ages about the importance of being true to one's self. Claire is a self-actualization hero for all ages.

Good luck, congratulations on your success thus far!

Best of Luck!!
Good Luck, Michael :-) Kathleen, Vinnie, & Marina
Hooray for films about women and art! Good luck!!
This is a great script and a really talented team. Can't wait to see the finished product! Good luck!!
What is the social impact of the film?
In addition to presenting a shared life experience through a child's story, Inspiration also presents a positive and empowering image for young girls. American adolescent girls face tremendous pressure from both peers and the media to conform to particular roles. Claire is comfortable and confident in her distinct style and sensibility. She exhibits a balance of precocious knowledge, childlike innocence, fear, and bravado that is common to American girls in our current culture.
