Director Statement
Some moments in time never really fade away. When Penny Jackson presented me with the monologue that we turned into the short film $13, the poignancy and truth of the character's experience with 9/11 hit home.
While the monologue itself is beautiful, the director in me wanted to find a way to make this story a film - to reach out through the screen and make you feel what all of us who were in New York that day felt.
And thus began another film collaboration between Penny Jackson and myself.
The film is short, but I believe the impact is huge. I hope you too are moved to remember.

Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?
This should be made into a movie because of its originality and right now alien stories are prevalent. This movie would do well. It has a wide target audience as well.

Conversation with director Alex de Montbel, executive producer Albert Crane, and doc subject David Wagner, on the making of the short documentary film from the "Your Everyday Heroes” series.
David Wagner grew up as a natural athlete, always in motion, playing basketball, surfing, and chasing a dream of becoming a professional player. At 21, a day of surfing in Redondo Beach changed everything when a wave drove his head into the ocean floor, breaking his neck at the C5–C6 level and leaving him paralyzed. In the hospital, as doctors spoke of “permanent” chairs and “permanent” changes, David confronted the loss of his old life with the support of a fiercely loving family that refused to let him give up.

Directed by Dainique Jones
In this dance film, we watch a couple unravel into a cycle of control, distance, and longing.
