Today I found out that while “Spiraling” was chosen as an Official Selection at the Prague Film Festival, turns out ... IT WON!!!!!

This means 2 wins and 6 awards/honors for this project. What a wonderful thing!!

To read the winning list from over a dozen other nations:
https://praguefilmfest.com/winners/june-2020

And I’m writing three feature films as well, so fingers crossed I will have an incredible amount of work to sell and produce by the end of this bizarre year.

Today may you only feel and fuel LOVE. ❤️ Inde

Today may you only feel and fuel LOVE. ❤️ Independence only works when everyone is free to live without fear or hate.

This month, I really had to reshift my #editorial theme and focus. The new theme is “Reasons to Love”. Below is my Editors Note for July in #ATODMagazine:

“Life has become a cycle of moments and events that take us by surprise, both good and tragic. This month my focus is love. Loving the air we breathe—the smile on the face of the stranger—the laughter from our kids—the little wins—the welcomed chaos—the chance to really take in the purity and simplicity of a forced slowdown.

We are living in times that seem more bizarre than a fictional dystopia and the anxiety and hurt, damaging words and actions that have derived from the present time... it is demanding we regroup, find our voices, respond in love and kindness, and do everything we can to end the hate and usher in an era of oneness.

I know the road will be long and the battles won and lost will be fraught with rightful anger and long overdue justice, but while we're in the thick of it may you find some much needed togetherness. May you seek the beauty and truth humanity needs to thrive as one, and most importantly may your hearts and souls find solace in the fact that from here on out we will demand a far more unified species. Be well, wear your masks, and search for the creases on the corner of the eyes looking back at you that signify a smile returned.”

— xo, Dawn Garcia, Editor-in-Chief

#FourthOfJuly has been the annual event most of us

#FourthOfJuly has been the annual event most of us have looked forward to since we were kids; the #fireworks bursting their beautiful light into the night skies, hot dogs and hamburgers, weekend fairs, and a chance to be with people you love—and this year, that all changed. In fact the way we view the lens of life these days has changed dramatically, and as such, changing the way we ring in some much needed independence this year will have to be more of an at-home experience.

@graywhalegin, founded by Marsh and Jan Mokhtari is an homage to the migratory pattern of the gray whale. Using ingredients found along the California Pacific coastline, Marsh and Jan’s gin represents more than mere spirits. It represents a quest for conservation, an appreciation for nature, and a love for coming together.

Enjoy two unique #gin #recipes just in time for the holiday weekend!

Repost from @atasteofdawn Thank you @imgon @salonr

Repost from @atasteofdawn Thank you @imgon @salonrepublic for my gorgeous color and style today!!! See you in 3 weeks!

A reminder that some stylists are doing it all right by protecting you and themselves, sanitizing their stations, and following protocol. So grateful for Imelda. Hair is the only thing I really do for myself. It is the only beauty regime I do for self care and well-being and knowing I’m safe while doing so makes all the difference. Xo

“Spiraling” did it again! Just got notice it is the Official Selection of the Prague International Monthly Film Festival @prague_film_festival! This is the 7th Award/Honor so far for this project.
I’m beyond excited at the momentum building around this project. I cannot wait to see it produced and showing internationally as a TV Series!
Being a writer is not an easy journey and being a female/Latina/woman-of-a-certain-age-in-Hollywood has its challenges. This short/series has really had an emotional impact and that has always been my hope. Thank you for continuing to give me the opportunity to share stories... it’s an honor.

The subject of the expansion of this project is our mental well-being: the astounding suicide rates, our #LGBTQ community, gender discrepancy, survivors guilt, battling racism, and how desperate we are for connection. May we never forget the value of one another and put an end to hate and oppression.

I am a proud Latina Irish gal, a mother, an activist, and I deeply believe that humanity will get it together, but that first means confronting everything that’s tearing us apart.
