Yvette Avenue Productions is pleased to announce that we are working with amazing athlete and motivational speaker Sarah Reinertsen and her company Always Tri, to create a new character in our independent comic book series Vigilante Project: The Confessional. The character’s name is Rebecca Robertson and she is based on Sarah herself. Rebecca, an amputee athlete, is the protagonist’s apartment manager who later becomes his love interest.

Originally conceived as both a film and a comic book, Vigilante Project has since evolved and is being shopped as a cable TV series.
