“Solana’s commitment and dedication to the role brings a level seldom seen. Because of this she inspires her costars to be better and elevates the entire production. Solana can carry a weak story or an entire cast or make an undefined character into a talked about centerpiece. In film, Solana is gold .” -Michael Scordakis, Writer-Director
