Hyundai and Glamour Magazine, along with JuiceBoxJungle, are sponsoring me to write about a poignant parenting moment with hopes that a big A-List Hollywood star will direct it on the big screen, like this short film Kate Hudson did with Glamour Reel Moments.

I don’t know that my life is interesting enough for the big screen but with children, there are always moments that are funny or memorable that could be incorporated into a story. I don’t know why, but the first thing that popped into my mind was something funny my son said when he was only about a year and a half. We were driving down the road and he kept pointing out the window yelling “Boobies! Boobies!” My daughter had been born recently and I was breastfeeding at the time. We certainly hadn’t been calling my breasts “boobies” however. It took me a moment to realize that he recognized Blockbuster and was actually saying “Movies! Movies!” I was just glad we were in the car so that strangers weren’t questioning what we were teaching our son!
More about this opportunity from JBJ:
“If you’ve ever fantasized about your life, or even a moment in your life, as a part on the big screen (and who hasn’t), this is your chance to see it happen (and to actually meet and work with an A-List star). Hyundai and Glamour Magazine are partnering to search for a series of moments from real moms (that’s you!) to create Reel Moments on Hulu, where Hollywood A-List women get behind the camera and direct a short film for their first time. Reel Moments is responsible for launching 14 directorial debuts by some of the most powerful women in Hollywood over the past five years. Before you read any further, check out Kate Hudson’s popular Reel Moments film here, an awesome and poignant story which stars Virginia Madsen, Dakota Fanning and the uber-popular Kristen Stewart. Hello?!? How awesome would it be to see ladies like these act out your parenting experience? Other past directors include Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, Courtney Cox, and more.
Each short film is inspired by real stories and YOURS could be next! Those selected will actually get to meet and consult with A-List directors to get their stories told. Hyundai and Glamour are now collecting stories for their next round undefined of short films, and you should DEFINITELY enter here, now!”
