Homeless Hotel Film Update!!

I'm very proud to be associated with this upcoming film based on my short story, Homeless Hotel. Synopsis of Homeless Hotel Short Film: Emma, a homeless 7-year old girl, is placed in temporary accommodation within a hotel. Divided into two sections – one for guests, the other for the homeless, the hotel is used to accommodate those who do not have a home. After school one day, Emma needs the toilet, but it is out of order. When exploring, Emma finds a ventilation shaft entrance and climbs through to a world of extravagance and abundance. With the help of an insider, they begin tackling the biggest issue little Emma is confronted with. See Fundraising Video Link HERE
