Org<br> how long have you been able to overcome<br> you know an enormous amount of adversity growing up and working in the Independent Business<br> I would say that it never really goes away you never really stopped cycling is so much more thrilling that that's what gets me up and doing it over and over again<br> the rejection in your pure Dynamics and you're going to work environment is a lot different than I can sell because there's always someone filming there's always opportunities you don't I always say that if you build something it will come and I get that from my father I'm a firm believer that if there is no opportunity to create your own film industry in the space to create where is the corporate and sales world all that is not a space to create you're working under the man or the woman okay and you're in the corporate environment and you're doing things a certain way because that's the expectation but in film what is the expectation as long as you're paying people you're following your that's really all you can ask<br> Ryan exactly a challenge to shift perceptions of people with disabilities<br> and entertainment especially and bring a voice to those who have been marginalized have you seen progress since you got started in the industry<br> you know it's a work in progress in some places yes and other places now I think that it really depends on the market. It needs to be more pronounced the environment I think that they you know really opened up the doors for many opportunities for many people I think one of the things that I sign to be a challenge for many is if you don't see it it doesn't exist and I think that's very untrue and we still keep the Unseen pun intended right why you know everyone says oh you have to make sure that were inclusive but you know if you don't see the disability did they don't have it<br> I hate that and I just wish there was a way for people to understand that you don't have to see it to know it's there there's a lot of people that are silently suffering and we don't pay attention and that angers me<br> yeah it really is open to people in those communities as well I just seen a neon see if that makes sense that's right that's right<br> that you also created and produced the psychological Thriller the nest that want to notable top women producers award in 2018. That's an interesting I mean too because of the primary goals of the nest is to empathize with those suffering with mental illness<br> yeah I actually know I mean yeah you're on the same page with that as well I mean I find that interesting<br> a lot of the work that I do it's it's easy to for the pain to flow when where they consider words typing what it deals with mental health but I feel that you know I'm so familiar with a lot of the challenges especially being heard in that world word in the fact that I talk too much I definitely know I'm always talking sometimes you have to tell me until I'm through and then I can figure out how to shut me up<br> you know in the film World being is really bleeding<br> I know you're busy telling a story and then that tells the story of a family that judge has their own daughter to be crazy and for her to be treated like she's you know. Issue when the truth is you know there's a lot of history to it and it's actually a short film that has her family and her mother and her father or stepfather is really prominent and I think you know I take experiences for my own life of course they're not that extreme that happened but very similar to Enchanted with my own family and and it's what you know is it's hard because no parents want the best for their kid and they don't always know how to handle it and sometimes the only way to handle it is to<br> the child self-esteem show you know I like the story because it really shows the reality of what someone may be going through where you know you may not have the same differences but you can be understanding and for those who are not a lot of family Dynamic storyline<br> and I don't know if people see that but even in Conrad the relationship with her father and my father and my real life is my absolute hero if it weren't for my father. She'll be here and he has believed in me and supported me and gone against all of the commentaries and all the God knows who says to prove that I'm a daughter who will be successful and live that life he has shown that life and he is constantly in my corner and so you know of this is on the daughters but no not feeling good enough but knowing that your father is always there to support you even though he has tough love even though he is hard on her<br> well I just you know I just think it's really great when films touch on the mental illness that are both subject and basic is it it's okay to talk openly about it<br> you know you meant taboos basically it's a taboo but but that's what you're bringing out and I think that's great<br>I can only imagine what it will be like<br> when I was<br> Bayside<br> I Can Only Imagine<br> what my eyes will see when your face is before me I can only imagine<br> surround<br> what's human<br>I Can Only Imagine<br> I can only imagine when that day comes<br> and I find myself standing in the sun I Can Only Imagine<br> is forever<br> forever worship you<br> Only Imagine<br> I Can Only Imagine<br> what you meant means I can only imagine<br>I Can Only Imagine<br> when online<br> is forever<br> forever worship you<br> I Can Only Imagine<br> this is the best more show live streaming on the iHeart Network and / 185 broadcast stations and 37 countries around the world<br> interview with actress Jennifer Goodman continues we will be back after the break you all agree on the promise of our Constitution and the hope that liberty and justice is for all people but here's the truth attacks on our constitutional rights yours and mine are greater than they've ever been the right for all to vote Reproductive Rights the right of immigrant families the right to equal justice for black brown and lgbtq plus books<br> the freedom of expression racial Justice lgbtq right the rights of the disabled we are here for everyone for over 100 years we bought a half of millions of Americans protecting our boat and our voice I believe in the ACLU because they're for real to learn more about how the ACLU is fighting for your rights and mine go to my aclu.org today pictures<br> they see cicadas and back with producer Ryan Atkins how did you and Brian meet up and get started<br> so I had mentioned a few moments ago about a post on social media<br> that post on social media was related to a very empowering female interrogating a male suspect and about some kinds of things that happened and he was the one that posted it and I had reached out to him to audition he cast me after my audition as the lead of this project and then I have it so I actually got a call the Conrad you from seeing a Facebook post and it was originally called Veronica and I remembered after I auditioned and he's like you all let you know I thought you did a great job she's like you have any questions for me and I said yeah I do actually called me like 4 hours later<br> I like your name I hate that.<br> Veronica<br> so I don't like it you know I'm really I love the show Revenge and I love Conrad Grayson and I was like you know what about Kate Conrad and Catherine with a Y and he was like I don't know if we should call Ashok 8 time at him like we're about to Conrad he's like I don't I don't dislike that I like the Ring of that but it was funny cuz he makes fun of me you know he's like yeah I know you didn't like my idea<br> that is interesting that the way you met It Is by Veronica I just didn't feel this character was a Veronica I felt like you needed more of a one-syllable name please don't be offended I just think them something to talk about real quick that you know did you already had that once you got black Hatter that won several Festival Awards Thriller it's about<br> the sins they committed and they look inward at themselves and what they are I mean that one really did resignate and so I like that one and I can see why it won an award<br> thank you and Sarah Quinn they are you know we came up with me and they kind of came up with the ideas of you know where to go and I said why don't you write it and then I helped her kind of clean it up and make a little bit tighter and kind of Flushed it out but I really wasn't very well done project and I think it was the team that was really able to Alameda and it was a good team<br> yeah yeah that control.
