David Punch is using his voice to spread one simple but strong and moving message,“We’re Not Different, We’re the same, We’re all under the stars”. With his latest song release, Different, David Punch wants us all to realize just that. Even though there are things that make every individual unique, we still all share the same core. His goal is pretty clear as well, to make it his mission so that no one ever feels alone in spite of our differences. We all hurt, we all cry. A talented multi-instrumental singer and songwriter, David Punch is adding motivational speaker to his list. Being a person whose “difference” is having Asperger's Syndrome (a neuro developmental disorder characterised by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication) his life experiences with challenging issues such as bullying, and working on his mental health makes him the best person to offer hope and encouragement. 

*Thank you to producer Dave Skelton and artists such as Gavin James, Kodaline and James Bay who inspired and believed in the making of Different.

Fire & Water — Forrestall Consulting

Shanna L. Forrestall

Shanna  Forrestall has been involved in storytelling since she was a little girl playing dress-up with her siblings and friends.  She’s always been captivated by unique real-life stories and lured by the power of fables and myths to teach life truths.

Shanna has been a working professional in the entertainment industry since 2007.  She has produced eight (8) short films in the US that tackle social issues, and several video projects in India to support a school for disabled children and Indian eunuchs.  Shanna is now also in post-production on two additional documentary projects (on autism and mass incarceration) and also in pre-production on a few feature film projects.

Shanna is also an award-winning actress with over 100 IMDb credits and published her first children's book last year.  She is also currently releasing an LP of children's bedtime stories, an LP of guided meditations, and launching an interactive art project called We Can Hear You.    She is also a songwriter, and just released her first single entitled Full Moon from the album coming out in 2021 called Fire & Water - a collaboration with Jeff Gold Music.

Shanna is an avid humanitarian, volunteering after natural disasters to provide immediate relief and to fundraise and distribute long-term resources to those affected.  She also utilizes independent film-making to capture the stories of survivors and relief workers to improve response efforts for the future.

She is passionate about equality and inclusion. Shanna mentors and hires young people on the autism spectrum (weekly) in her business.  She also works with nonprofits and local initiatives that support abused women, animal advocacy, and any human in need.

Shanna grew up in South Louisiana but lived in Toronto for five years before returning to her home state to live until 2014.  She now splits her time between Chattanooga, TN, and Los Angeles, CA. but visits New Orleans (the city she calls home) often.
