We met doing what we both love, and that is acting on the set of a film. Despite having multiple retakes of a simple kissing scene we also had a love scene, but the connection was felt from the moment we started to rehearse our lines. Although our story of love started on-screen the real connection was genuine, unscripted, and a passion that neither one of us ever imagined. We often tease Lapala and Charise Crawford crediting them for our lives connecting in the first place as Julius was casted after 2 actors prior, and finally they landed on gold. As a result, that is what led us to Winter Wonderland a Fairytale brought to life starring Julius and Raquel (in real-life).
