In conversation with Aaron M Alberto
I talk with the talented Aaron M Abelto about his new film ‘Evoke’. We talk about how he connects with his audience through a common message of humanity. How his personal inspiration for his new film, although written many moons ago and kept hidden in a sketchbook, became what it is today because of a dear friend who helped bridge the gap that was left by the loss of his father.

Kelsey Walker. From The Green Desk was founded after Kelsey's own experience with abortion. The mission of From The Green Desk is to comfort and validate women who are suffering as a result of abortion, child, infant or pregnancy loss. Through peer-to-peer services including coaching, group therapy, a blog, and a podcast, we will eliminate the ‘silent scream’ stigma associated with these losses. At 17 weeks Kelsey found out their daughter, Hope, had a genetic condition that caused every single bone in her tiny body to break into 90 degree angles and was threatening Kelsey's life, so they took the impossible option: abortion. From this experience she wrote Face Everything And Rise, a memoir. Www.fromthegreendesk.com
