The event will end with a quick screening of a film trailer for PIZZA MY HEART, a new comedy short film directed by Elizabeth V. Newman, written by Christine Hoang, starring Christine Hoang and Vanessa Hoang Hughes, with original songs by Tyler Mabry. In PIZZA MY HEART, a Pizza Telegram Singing Delivery Specialist (PTSD Specialist) delivers comfort food with a song to a heartbroken customer who turns out to be a 12-year old girl. After the world premiere screening of the PIZZA MY HEART trailer, Color Arc Productions will kick off a crowdfunding campaign to raise finishing funds to cover post production costs and film festival submission fees.
