Roberta's Choice is a nine minute movie short, which I produced in 2005. 
The movie was shot on a Panasonic DVX 100A Digital Video Camera Recorder.

It was created in my one bedroom apartment  in Mar Vista, California.  Four separate sets were designed in the small apartment. More information  about how to use small spaces to create sets and design small apartments to maximize your living space, can be found in my decorating book:
Extreme Low Budget Apartment Makeovers.

Roberta's Choice is a calling card for my screenplay "EXIT QUIETLY".  The story is about a woman who crosses the line of sanity when she makes a choice to kidnap the man that she loves.  In a desperate attempt to win back his love, she loses touch with reality. The story reminds us all that boundary lines regarding love are easily crossed.  Emotionally charged, captivating and sensual, it draws you into desire, longing, and the painful devastation of unrequited love. Most importantly, it makes you feel the rapture of love in its rawest form.

The novel which birthed these two projects is "OF THE SAME MIND", originally written by me in 1998, it was self-published recently and is now available for purchase at: http://www.fairebooks.com/, which is the ebook publication division of Fair Productions.
