Tara Troy, Two-Time Cancer Survivor, Award-Winning Filmmaker and Actor Announces Production of Short Film, "A Moment In Time" To Help Others Heal From Pandemic Loss
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 14, 2023 -- Tara Troy, an award-winning filmmaker, actor, and two-time cancer survivor, announces the production of her second short film, “A Moment in Time.” The project is inspired by Troy’s story of losing her father and how love transcends those final moments.
“When my father passed away, I wasn’t able to have the goodbye I wanted,” Troy shares. “For me, that moment snowballed into a life of isolation and a belief I wasn’t lovable. It wasn’t until I learned that relationships are more than a moment that I finally put the pieces back together. This film tells that story. I hope the film offers comfort to those who have lost loved ones and shows them a final moment could never overshadow a lifetime of love.”
In order to cover production costs for the film, Troy is launching a crowdfunding campaign on Thursday, August 3rd, 2023 that will run for a month. The campaign will offer various rewards and perks to donors who contribute financially including a digital copy of the script signed by the cast and crew, the opportunity to be an extra in the movie, or join Troy at a film premiere.
Production is slated to start in the Fall in New York City. Upon completion, the film will enter the film festival circuit.
Troy originally planned to shoot “A Moment in Time” in 2021; however, the pandemic derailed her original plans. Living by the mantra “all things happen in God’s time,” Troy no longer views the delay as a hindrance.
Troy shares her motivation for making the film now: “When I was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2021, tens of thousands of people were also struggling and perishing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I realized, as I underwent chemotherapy, that this story wasn’t just my own. How many of them never had the chance to say their final goodbyes to the ones they loved?”
