TODAY (Nov. 15th) is HEATHER COUTTS' birthday

So who the hell is Heather Coutts? Well she is my gorgeous, amazing, sassy, sexy and downright wonderful girlfriend. Besides being my backbone and helped cast and produce Tremble & Spark, she also plays the key supporting role of Annette. I don't know how the hell she was able to keep her shit straight, but she did.

I always knew that Heather (she likes to spell her name hthr) was going to play Annette (who is Veronica's assistant in T&S. ) I wrote the role for her - mousy, insecure, and a little bit nuts - all the things Hthr is not. For someone who has her background in theater - she nailed it! Hands down I get more compliments about her performance than anyone else in the film. Make me pretty proud as a director, producer and girlfriend.

As a producer - I couldn't have asked for anyone else to pick up in the areas that I couldn't handle. I got a lot of advice, and offers for help, but many of that all fell through. People are busy - I get it - especially when I didn't have money to pay a producer. There were many nights when I would call her up on the verge of cracking and she just picked up the ball and ran with it. She handled all of the casting, paperwork, and - well I don't really know everything she did because I was so busy I couldn't pay attention! I don't know how she did it all AND learn her lines.

So on her birthday - baby this is ALL FOR YOU! I love you and thank you so much for making this happen! (and I promise you will get that tattoo as payment!)
