"What inspired me to write MAYA The Sacrifice is my daughter. She's going through tough times. Her courage, strength and determination keeps me going. Mental illness is not something you ignore. It has to be addressed. Mental health crises are at their peak and suicide amongst children and adults is at an all-time high. My team and I will make this amazing film a success.
