2006 "What's the REAL DEAL?" contest winner Tiara Bennett and director Alison Maclean (Jesus' Son; "The Tudors") were interviewed on The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC on Monday July 2nd!

Tiara and Alison discussed their film, The Choices We Make, and their collaboration that transformed Tiara's original words into a professional film. The film seeks to challenge mainstream media's stereotypical portrayals of young men and women faced with an unplanned pregnancy.

Tiara and the other three 2006 "What's the REAL DEAL?" contest winners premiered their films in front of 350 people at Clearview's Chelsea West Cinemas in New York City on June 12th. The night was a wonderful celebration of these powerful young writers and their accomplished directors.
