---

To the ones who lit the path and stood together, whose support made every step on this journey

possible—we see you, we thank you, and we carry you with us in all we do.

To FroStyles – for weaving together the magic of tech, light, and sound, making every story shine

louder and brighter.

To Carolina Herrera – your fierce belief, tireless marketing energy, and unwavering motivation were

fuel keeping this vision alive.

To RaeRae and Leah Bancod-Roman – your collaboration is not just support, it’s legacy. Thank you

for building, dreaming, and believing over and over again.

To James Mansour – thank you for being the voice that always said, “Yes, you can.” Those words

echoed when they were needed the most.

To The Jukebox Grounds – thank you for showing up with heart. You remind us that community isn’t

something we find—it’s something we bring to every space that needs healing.

To XQ Entertainment – thank you for sponsoring a Youth Filmmaker and investing in the artistic

growth of the next generation. Your support helps young voices rise, create, and thrive—planting

seeds for a brighter, more - expressive future.

To the artists who took a chance on themselves – your courage, your vulnerability, and your vision

are what Life in Motion is truly about. You dare to imagine what’s possible when healing and art move

as one. This space was made for you—and because of you.

With thanks to Cobra Doan, a gifted photographer whose lens never misses a moment of power,

grace, and authenticity. Your talent lies not only in capturing beautiful images but in revealing the

essence of each subject—there is truly no bad side when you are behind the camera. Thank you for

preserving the heart of Life in Motion through your extraordinary eye.

Heartfelt thanks to Coley Currey for generously educating others on the power of grant writing. Your

insight and support have helped make artistic projects more accessible to our community and played

a key role in making the Life in Motion showcase a reality. Your dedication to sharing knowledge has

truly made a lasting impact.

And finally, to Tempe Community Arts, whose Wavemaker Grant Program gave this project the

wings it needed to take flight. Thank you for believing in the power of stories told through motion and

giving them a stage. @tempecityarts

heartbeat.
