Private Project

Becca on Call

Becca C. Johnson, aspiring writer, agrees to work as a Part-Time “Temp” Nurse Assistant (NA) for her Dad at his new medical clinic in exchange for an "allowance" so she can focus on her writing. But Becca soon discovers: there's nothing part-time or “temp” about nurse anything.

Director Statement

[JR] "I want to have fun with purpose: to inspire a smile no matter where you are. 'Life' hits us between the eyes, so why not hit back with a little laughter, a little giggling, and just see how contagious those 'ha has' become? Even a little smile goes a long way. ;)"
