Not4: We own our production company and spend our time developing and producing various types of film and television projects.
La Libertad: What do you love most about producing?
Christina: The excitement and the pace are great, but I think that it is really the love of the idea that something we help put together, will possibly entertain, enthrall or even inspire others. The ability to create work that makes people think, and makes people
feel is something that I aspire to.
Jennifer: When I used to dance, I would get a natural

other passion is cooking and entertaining friends.
Christina: I have always had a passion for acting. For
hobbies, I really enjoy watching and studying films; the only thing I like better than watching movies is
making movies.
Some of our shared interests are travel, and we are both self–proclaimed "foodies." We love new experiences
and adventures of all kinds.

| Premiere of Dancin'- It's On |
La Libertad: What inspires you?
Christina: The idea that there is always room to grow, more to learn, we always take a moment to enjoy our
accomplishments as they come but immediately look for ways to top ourselves. I am always inspired by
what we can do next!
Jennifer: My hard working parents inspire me everyday to face challenges head on, and overcome any and all obstacles that may be in my way. They
have always said to believe in myself and what I am capable of, which is what I think about whenever I feel scared or unsure.
La Libertad: What was the hardest part of getting Dancin' to the big screen?
Not4: Timing... Timing is the essence of life. It really came down to finding the right deal at the right time. We watched and worked with David Winters as he presented the picture to various agents, buyers, et cetera, until the right one came along at the right time.
Jennifer: Practicing patience... Our Director David
Winters would not settle for anything less than a
domestic distribution, and so we waited for the right deal that would make this possible. I have never practiced patience, like I did for the year and a half this film was shopped.

thing locked in!
La Libertad: What is your favorite film?
Not4: Christina’s favorite is Auntie Mame [1958] with Rosalind Russell; Jennifer’s is Dirty Dancing.
La Libertad: What are your overall career goals?
Christina: This question could take a while to answer, so let’s just sum it up with: An Academy Award.
Jennifer: To work with talented, hard working individuals and creating magic!

La Libertad: What else, if anything, would you like to tell our readers?
Christina: Never be afraid to take a chance. Never tell
anyone what you can’t do, show them what you can do. Impossible is just a state of mind!
Jennifer: Always believe in yourself and do not take “NO” as an answer. You may not be the most talented, smartest, and have the biggest advantages, but determination and not giving up trumps all of these things.
