In an exclusive interview with a film passionate, Libby Hunt (her husband's grandfather was the legendary oil tycoon, H.L. Hunt), I talk with her of her amazing film project, her happiness places in the beach and at her Glenrose ranch, and how to inspire and awaken the hearts of others by doing what you love, as well her future projects.
Carolina Rodríguez Hernández: What does LIBBY´S MOVIE HUNT means for you?
Libby Hunt: Libby's Movie Hunt is a way for me to share my love of film with the world. I love doing what I'm in love with. When you do what you are in love with it seizes your imagination and will affect everything. By doing what you are in love with it will inspire & awaken the hearts of others. I love what Martin Scorsese once said: “Movies touch our hearts & awaken our vision & change the way we see things... movies are the memories of our lifetime. We need to keep them alive”.

CRH: When did you first feel attracted to establishing LIBBY´S MOVIE HUNT? Is it something you always envisioned, or has it developed over time?
LH: Now that I'm looking 50 in the rear view mirror and always wanted to go back to my first love acting. I was reading this wonderful graduation speech “Wear Sunscreen” one day and it said go out every day and do something that scares you. So, I literally went out that day and got an agent. I started acting here in Dallas Texas and also produced some independent films. Everyone always new I loved movies. My friends encouraged me to write a blog and from there I started being asked to go on the radio all over Dallas to talk movies. I was then asked by Vokal Media (http://www.watchonairlive.com/) to have my own podcast. I'm having a blast in my 2nd act in life!
CRH: Which is your favorite destination to disconnect from work?
LH: The beach, any beach is heaven to me. We also love to go to our ranch in Glenrose, Texas.
CRH: What is your idea of perfect happiness?
LH: Being with my immediate & extended family anywhere, anytime.
CRH: What's next in your business life and for LIBBY´S MOVIE HUNT?
LH: I'd love to have a regular TV segment and I'd also like to get more celebrity interviews. I also just want to keep talking movies. The movie is a miracle. It makes you visualize, inspire, equip and ignite your imagination. It's a wonderful complicated collaboration between people who come together to make art & say something. Our world is a better place because of filmmakers and artist.
