FILM

Cole Gunn, Debé's Father declared: 'Your songs tell stories -- with a beginning, a middle and an end.  You should write books, scripts, too."  She didn't think so then... struggling with unsung songs was enough... Dad's words are ringing true.  Her film & musical theatre projects share- heart, courage, winning &... music!
