Melora teamed up with Sapphire Artisan Series to direct a short film about one of the 12 semi-finalists selected in the artisan series competition. Jed Foronda a Houston Texas based artist, and Melora's own father Jerry Hardin provided her with the inspiration for her short film "Screamin' Big Bad Fun".
Melora along with the 12 semi-finalists and film makers, will be showing their work at this weeks SCOPE art show during Art Basel in Miami. Only 2 artists will be chosen to have their own exhibit at Rush Arts Gallery in NYC. Best of luck to Jed Foronda!!

Screamin' Big Bad Fun
This short film by actor/director/musician Melora Hardin offers a glimpse into the lives and work of two very different Texan artists and the surprising similarities that drive them to create. While Jerry Hardin is 83 and has been creating art for a lifetime, Jed Foronda is only 27. "Screamin' Big Bad Fun" inspires the young creative soul to press on through the challenges of an artists life, continue following their passion and keep on making their art.
