“At the center of everything we experience is a story. Stories are always evolving. The only beginning and end to a story is the one that is told or the one we perceive.” Susy Botello

After watching Frankenstein with Guillermo del Toro and having listened to him and the audience reactions during this panel in July, in person, I am inspired because we feel a lot in common about the power of our stories not only on others, but for ourselves. ‘Our human destiny is our story.’ -Me.
