Bryan E. Murphy has always dabbled in writing, theater, video production and documentary filmmaking, but this is the first narrative film that he has ever made... beginning to end. Definitely a daunting challenge, but also a dream come true.
Dear Eloise is dedicated to my 90-year-old great aunt, Ruby Belle Skipp, who lost her husband at age 39, but continued to forge her way through the rest of her life with fortitude, grace and dignity. A timeless testament to the independence and inner strength of women everywhere.
