Sapphire Story: by Diamond

A. R. Garcia: That was a very unique experience for me. And it is tied in with two firsts. Before Saint Nicholas was a film, it was an Off-Broadway show called, I Love Them All. It was my first one man show that I wrote and performed myself. It was the very first time I had ever acted. I had signed up to the ONE Festival and due to the lack of time to find an actor my mentor suggested that I play the role.

So, I did. I won the theater festival. Years later when I wanted to produce I Love Them All as full ensemble for theater I got the opportunity for it to be picked up as a film. Saint Nicholas would then be my first screenplay I ever wrote and my first feature film I had ever acted in.

So needless to say it was a very special experience for me. You can watch Saint Nicholas on Amazon Prime as well!

A. R. Garcia: This is an especially dear project to me. This play depicts the struggle of an extremely well off Lawyer who is dealing with some serious inner demons. He battles several addictions such as; alcoholism, sex, work, drug abuse and abuse in general. He seeks out a therapist that will prescribe him sleeping pills but instead encounters that he has to face his demons in order to actually get the sleep he requires.
