Freedom Summer

Since I could walk as a toddler, I quickly learned the thrill of going new places. By the age of five, I learned how to ride my bike and the distances I could go exponentially increased.

My Mother, the Hippie My mother is a "hippie" in every sense of the word. Therefore, as a young child, I spent a lot of time in the Great Outdoors. There were even some years in which we traveled around living on commune farms. I remember the huge gardens where you could always find my mom, and where I earned my nickname "Beans".

we decided to make the most of our time together. The night was filled with party games, movies in the theatre, and meeting new people.

Secret Window opens with a straight on shot of Mort Rainey, played by Johnny Depp. His internal monologue plays over the audio as the camera stares into his eyes. “Turn around. Turn around. Turn the car around and get the hell out of here. Do not go back there.” Ignoring his own thoughts, he exits the car and runs inside the beaten down lobby of an old motel.
