About me.

On January 11th 2013, I decided that I wanted to make a movie. I'd never done it, so I decided to teach myself how to make a film. One and a half years later, I have executed this film through diligence, focus and unrealistic ambition. Hello my name is Thais Francis and I have created art ever since a child in Trinidad and Tobago. My theatrical endeavors as a producer, actor and writer thus far have debuted in NYC, Atlanta, the DC area, and internationally. I have written a play OUTCRY which has performed at Universities, high schools, and theaters before thousands. Film is the latest venture, and I hope you will join me in this journey to access the nirvana that only art can provide.

Haiku About the Campaign.

She’s living a lie

To please everyone else.

Except her own self.
