About Ms. Roberts
“Unlike all the other art forms, film is able to seize and render the passage of time, to stop it, almost to possess it in infinity. I’d say that film is the sculpting of time.”
– Andrei Tarkovsky

PERSONAL MOTTO:
I've missed more than 9000
shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times,
I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and
over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed.
- Michael Jordan
