Writer Statement

I originally wrote 50 Hours as a way to process the loss of my mother back in 2005 and it was a good way to deal with the reality of losing her to a brain tumor. Through the years I have held several table readings of the script to build and refine the story. I have several LA actors interested in playing the lead roles. The story is written for Georgia which is good because of the incentives.
