Live Table Read for What's In A Name movie with Elva NelsonHayes

OAKLAND, Calif. - Oct. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- These movie backers will get a first hand 'behind the scenes' peek at the "What's In A Name" movie. You will get to attend a Q & A session with members of the cast and production team after you watch a live table read from actors in the film.
THIS PERK ENDS THE DAY OF THE EVENT - OCTOBER 27

Elva NelsonHayes, the producer of the "What's In A Name" movie which is based on her first book, The UNNAMED. It's important for her to get this film out because it chronicles a young girl, Opal's, quest for self identity as she comes of age amidst teenage feuding parents. She carries the pain of her heartbroken mother who intentionally named her after the wrong man. She carries the guilt of her womanizing father who abandoned her pregnant mother. She's wracked with the guilt of their fighting as she confuses loving one parent with betraying the other. She struggles to define her self through her polar opposite parents, neither of whom will tell her the truth of why she was misnamed.

This story addresses family relationships, fighting parents and family secrets that you see  from the child's perspective  and how they effects her identity.  This story has a lesson of redemption for every member of the family.

We need your help to get this film made.

•  This film will entertain and inspire not only the viewers who can see themselves in the characters and be empowered

•  We want to encourage other authors and playwrights to take their stories from script to screen

•  Our hopes that with all our energies, resources and skills combined,  we will turn out a product that will awaken new and prosperous opportunities.

• Your contributions will help us achieve the goal of entertaining, educating, and inspiring people with my story..

Quiona began her acting journey in her hometown of Los Angeles, CA at the early age of 4 1/2. As she grew older, her family indirectly encouraged her to prepare for a possible career in the entertainment field by having her memorize and publically perform poems and speeches on a regular basis.

Quiona developed the skill of character development by practicing voiceovers from television commercials, and direct marketing campaigns with her parents and family on occasion. She also signed up for and participated in skits and plays in school and in her neighborhood performing with and for family and friends.

As a teenager, she studied Shakespeare in high school and joined the drama ministry at her church. “With lots of hard work and perseverance, we went on to compete at teen conventions and even won first place one year,” says Quiona.

During college, she went to acting and modeling school in the evenings and on the weekends. She landed her first paid gig as a standardized patient with a medical teaching college.

Moving forward, Quiona continues to go on numerous auditions, and has landed acting gigs in the capacity of playing supporting and principle roles in commercials and short films. In her spare time, she enjoys being a foodie, cooking, and bowling. She currently resides in the SF Bay Area.
