I had the opportunity to chat with the writer and director of the family-friendly film, Moondance Alexander, Michael Damian. Listen in to hear about the film in his words and find out whose life the story is based on! Mr. Damian also shares why it s so important to help support family-friendly movies like this one. About the Film: Inspired by a true story, Moondance Alexander features a stellar cast including up-and-coming actress Kay Panabaker (Nancy Drew, “Summerland”), Don Johnson (Tin Cup, “Miami Vice”), Lori Loughlin (“Summerland,” “Full House”) and Olympic Skating Silver Medalist Sasha Cohen (Blades Of Glory, Bratz). Panabaker stars as Moondance, a young girl who doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of her classmates, but that all changes when she finds a runaway Pinto pony that will alter her life and those closest to her. Inspired by a dramatic true story of hope and perseverance, the film showcases an inspirational message of standing by one’s heart and convictions, regardless of the challenges or resistance from other forces which attempt to hinder that vision. Moondance Alexander garnered numerous awards in 2007 including the Dixie Film Festival Award for Best Feature Film and Outstanding Actor/Actress in a Motion Picture, the LA Femme Film Festival Award for Best Screenplay by Michael and Janeen Damian and the Newport Beach Film Festival Award for Best Family Feature Film.
