    I just finished watching this film

    I LOVED it. I didn't know what to expect and I am so happy I went into it without any expectations. It was so good, with wonderful actors and at the end when I realized what I just watched, I had to pause for a bit. The topic is something that needs to be discussed more because I feel like that was the first time it hit me. What a great film.

    An Amazing Piece

    There is such a difference between hearing about the sex trade and actually seeing it. Shawntay did a great job of depicting this situation believably, assisted by some excellent actors and a good director; thereby, helping to bring it to more people's attention. It's time to wake people up. Shawntay you are a crusader.

    Waiting for Booked 2...

    I enjoyed the movie and can't wait for part 2... I really would like to know what happens next. Sex trafficking is a a money-making business that needs to be stopped.

    This film showed how easily a young lady can be put into a situation where she taken.

    Amazing film

    I love this movie and can't wait to see what's next with this film. Shawntay Dalon is an amazing writer and even better actress. I follow her on social media and loves how dedicated she is to getting help for victims of Sex trafficking. I pray this film gets the recognition it deserves.

    Haunting short film

    Make no mistake, this short is a heavy watch. It shows sex trafficking through the eyes of a new victim, Portia, who must learn to survive in a dark world where you are only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for you. The helplessness of the situation really comes through hard as the white mask removes traces of humanity . Will Portia ever escape this ordeal?
