BAND AID rocked my socks off! (Ok I didn't have any socks on...but if I did it FOR SURE would've set them shits on fire) But in all realness, I'm SO proud and in awe of the amazing @zoelisterjones She not only wrote and produced this film, but she also directed, starred in, AND wrote a bunch of original songs for it! The concept of the story is not only real but also super clever! She's an inspiration and I'm incredibly lucky to work with her. BTW... Band Aid hits theaters June 2nd!! ??
