On a late Saturday afternoon, Vera finally acknowledges Sasha and the two chat and connect before Vera jumps off the cliff. Momentarily distracted Sasha misses Vera’s jump and when she goes to look for Vera in the water below, Sasha can’t find her. After asking the other teens nearby, no one can confirm Vera’s disappearance or safety. Discomforted, Sasha decides to venture across the water to look for the missing Vera. Reaching the opposite shore, Sasha is confronted with a myriad of misdirections and bogus clues that lead her into the depths of an unmarked forest. When Sasha eventually finds Vera she must face both internal and external challenges in order to bring Vera safely home. Peace Rock is a story about female desire, sexual awakening, protection and perseverance. It explores power dynamics and their tenuous relationship to context, looking at the ways in which we can move seamlessly between roles of seeker and finder, savior and saved.

 Who we are: Hudson Valley Actors & Film Creatives (we are a collection of people who work in the Film Industry in NYC and the Hudson Valley of NY). Here is our volunteer form (CLICK): Please join us!!! www.sewmaskshv@gmail.com SewMasksHV@gmail.com Thank you for visiting us to learn more about our efforts to coordinate the Protective Mask Making Initiative in the Hudson Valley Region of NY during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
 Hello! Thank you for coming here to read about our efforts to coordinate the Protective Mask Making Initiatives in the Hudson Valley Region of NY during our COVID-19 Pandemic. There are MANY patterns and videos and we will put them here below... AT THIS TIME we have initiated an effort to reach out to All the hospitals in the area and make connections with them so that the masks can be delivered directly to who can use them. We have not yet received one medical entity in the region standardizing the process... this is our goal to make this happen. We do know that with this recent effort to keep everyone home except ESSENTIAL WORKERS that these essential workers could benefit from having the masks. Think of your local grocer, and take out restaurant workers, laundromats, mail and delivery workers, etc... they really could use the protection. There are MANY patterns and videos and we list them here below... General Guidance (These are merely common sense thoughts and not mandated by any entity) 1. Machine wash and dry the fabric BEFORE cutting it (if you are using cotton but not if you are making them from filters). 2. Clean/sanitize your sewing machine, ironing board and iron before sewing the masks. 3. Clean/ sanitize your sewing area before sewing the masks. 4. Not a bad idea to wear a mask on your own face and gloves while you sew (no one knows for sure if they are carrying Covid-19 or not... IF YOU HAVE IT DON'T SEW THEM and if you aren't feeling well DON'T do it) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best UNIFIED Model we are hoping to coordinate something similar to this: Providence Hospital. Their model is to hand out kits to specifically chosen seamstresses with a certain level of skill... and the kits are pre cut by the hospital. This is selected text from their Resources for hospitals, clinics and health systems section: We have received many requests from our health-care colleagues across the country about the steps we have taken to make our own face shields. Here is the step by step guide we have used. How to make our face masks This video tutorial is intended for volunteers who have been selected to help us make masks. Our product uses medical grade material that is not available commercially. We are supplying volunteers with this specific material. Masks created with alternative materials may not have the same effectiveness.

His very expressive face and voice over-exaggerates his already boisterous actions. 8) The BANK MANAGER M 40s to 50s Nerdy but confident and cocky, glasses, salt and pepper hair. 9) SAX's WIFE (ANGELA) F 50s Seductive, playful, big smile and personality.

Despite being in the last days of her life she’s still put together with a great hair cut. Nicky still has a lot to give. Genevieve: Is a striking gay woman with many tattoos in her mid to late 30’s. She is into BDSM and most recently has become obsessed with suspension. She is the type who goes through many people never staying in any one relationship too long.
