All of that is on Natasha Gill's agenda - as properly as her movie. She is creating history on the silver screen. That's since it would not be sufficient for her to basically be a star. The 17-year-old is co-executive producer of the feature-length motion picture, "Americanizing Shelley."

The film tells the story of a wannabe Hollywood talent manager's quest to Americanize an Indian girl from the Himalayas. As he teaches her about the "American way of life," they start to see the world by way of each other's eyes.

"Americanizing Shelley" attempts to erase the negative image some men and women have of the United States and bring all cultures together, according to its producers.

"We invest so significantly time criticizing America, we tend to forget how genuinely amazing a location it is ... how truly type and open and warm-hearted Americans can be. That's what I want my movies to depict," Natasha said.

Responding to a pitch by loved ones friend and film producer Naomi Cooper, president of American Pride Films Group, and with the support of her clinical psychologist father, Natasha saw that the film's $five million spending budget got funded.

Natasha is a young woman on a mission. One day, she'll readily tell you, she will be Governor of California, and "Americanizing Shelley is component of that bigger mission. In a sense, Arnold Schwarzenegger's progression from action hero to governor has supplied a road map for Natasha's ambitions.

Is Natasha star-struck? "Oh, a small," she admits. Natasha also plays a featured role of "Yuki" as component of a veteran cast that consists of Beau Bridges, Namrata Singh Gujral ("Kaante," "The Agency") Phillip Rhys ("24"), Wil Wheaton ("Star Trek") and Shaheen Khan ("Bend It Like Beckham").
