March is now a bittersweet month for me. Some important milestones happened in March. On a personal note, it has been one year since my father passed away, and 10 days later I celebrated my birthday.
On a more optimistic note, while editing on "It's Not You" was underway, I was able to wrap up my first feature film script and even had a small window to start setting the building blocks for production. I'm still looking for inspiration on what the actual title of the feature film will be, but in terms of story - here is the work in progress logline:
After a neurological disease devastates the child population, a physician must double-cross a pharmaceutical company, in order to save her son.
Over the next month, I'll be casting for multiple roles. If you're interested, shoot me an email and I'll reach out when casting begins. This will be non-union, stipend, on a micro-budget.
Character | Character Bio |

Lynn Kneeves | Caucasian woman; 40s Lynn is a philanthropist, but don’t be fooled - she’s just as business-driven. With never a hair out of place, she easily commands every room she walks into. |

Pharmacist | Man; late 40s - 50s The pharmacist is an overworked individual and runs an understaffed establishment. He is distrustful of people and has gotten to a point in his life where he has enough strength to punch in and punch out of work. |
Woman (CPS) | Woman; 30s, 40s, 50s The woman works for the county Children & Family Services and has been exposed to her fair share of child neglect and endangerment. Though actively engaged in her work, the hope she once had for the people she meets through her job has diminished. |
