🔸 Episode Overview

Boundaries are not just about saying "no"—they're about saying "yes" to what truly matters. In this powerful episode, Coach LA sits down with media powerhouse Tonia Magras, COO of Hull Bay Productions, to talk about the sacred act of setting boundaries—without guilt, shame, or apology.

From decades of navigating the media world to telling raw and real stories through film, Tonia exemplifies how boundary-setting can become a personal and professional superpower. We’ll explore her journey as a leader, creative, and survivor—and how honoring her truth gave birth to her most personal and courageous project yet: her upcoming film “do you remember me?”, based on her own life story.

🔸 Featured Project Spotlight

🎬 “do you remember me?”
Premiered March 28, 2025 at 7PM (EST)

Hull Bay Productions, the award-winning team behind “100 Years, 100 Voices of Faith” and the Gold Telly Award-winning documentary “More Than Our Skin,” proudly announces their third and most personal film yet:
“do you remember me?” – a deeply moving true story of trauma, confrontation, and healing.

Written and directed by Tonia Magras, the film follows ‘Nicky,’ a woman who must confront the person who tried to destroy her 38 years earlier. As she relives the pain of May 4, 1987, she draws strength from faith, family, and unshakable inner power.

Filmed in partnership with a student production crew at Fitchburg State University, the film is a bold reclaiming of voice and power—an act of boundary-setting and survival in its purest form.
