Writer Statement

It Don't Rain on Sunny Days is actually a tune I wrote some 15 years ago to entertain my teenagers. I would sing the song, practically through my nose, to get that gritty Leon Redbone sound.

In 2007, I saw the movie "Ray" and there was a line in the film when Jamie Fox says: " I like country... because the songs tell stories." That line inspired me to make my song into a movie.

Months later, I ran into comedy writer Lee Fleming at the Tacoma Film Festival. He was premiering his film called Following Chip. That evening I gave him a rough outline of the story and I sensed we could make this thing work. We began writing the script in December, ten months later it was ready to film.
