I have been a child abuse advocate for many years and have donated time to various child abuse organizations. In addition, I have been studying child abuse and the many aspects of it for 20 years. My writing credits include short stories, newspaper articles for a daily paper, poems, plays and screenplays. I have also studied film (dialogue, cinematography, direction, score, accuracies, camera and film used, and story) for over 20 years.

We are producing a documentary on the subject of Blindness and vision loss. This is to dispel the myths that many people have concerning individuals that are blind.

John Convey is a New York City based filmmaker/photographer. After spending 8 years in the commercial photography field in New York City, he realized that moving image would be a more correct fit to realize his creative potential. In 2006 he sold all of his possessions and moved to Mostar, Bosnia Herzegovina to self-produce a documentary film about the coping mechanisms that children used during the war to mentally preserve and to physically survive in times of extreme duress and hardship. After receiving a grant from the Marian Chace Foundation/American Dance Therapy Association, he traveled to Kolkata, India in July 2008 to document Kolkata Sanved and their use of Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) with survivors of human trafficking and other violent abuses.
