A Race Against Time

A RACE AGAINST TIME

 

 

     In 2009, a family in Lancaster, TX awakened to the loss of a girl named Sharla Butler, as she was only 16 years old.  Destined to be an Olympian in Track and Field, she suffered to complications from encephalitis.  Hoping to have followed in the footsteps of her two older sisters by winning state championships in Lancaster, her presence is and continues to be indescribably missed by her friends and family. 

 

     In honor of Sharla's family, in 2011, director Maurice Durham successfully directed an Independent Film titled A Race Against Time: The Sharla Butler Story. The film recounts the events leading up to her saddened death. I play the role of Matt Carson, a High School Track Coach.  Despite the fact it was a small, supporting role, I was superbly grateful to have been apart of the entire experience.  The trailer to the film indeed sets the expectation for what's to come in regards to a suspenseful, yet emotional film.  In October of 2011, the film was premiered at the Angelika Theater in Dallas, TX.  It will forever go on as an unforgettable and collaborative experience.
