FILM

DEBÉ's visionary Dad, Cole Gunn, said: 'Your songs tell stories -- they have a beginning, a middle and an end. You should write scripts, too." She didn't think so then... struggling with unsung songs was quite enough... but now his words are alive and well. Read about her film projects in various unique phases of development. They all share one underlying theme; heart, courage and winning! Father's always right.
