Organically this lifestyle shifted into creating a unique record & film project with her closest friends & colleagues. "The Love Project Journey" was born and took nearly 5 years to complete. Yaél wore all the hats here. Her project launched selling out the Grammy Museum, shown at the Clive Davis theater followed by a live interview, press, meet & greet and live performance. The documentary was successfully selected into 6 film festivals - SXSW, Cannes, LA NewfilmMakers Festival, Atlantic City and Buffalo Film Fests. A labor of Love. (The Love Project EP & DVD)
