I Wish I Never Met You

Lauren Thomas is turning 40 and no one is more excited than her. She is married to an amazing husband, a true provider and father: Andrew Thomas. Andrew's brother, Franklin, is in a wheelchair due to a military attack. His wife, Mahogany, is currently pregnant with their first child. The two couples, along with three other couples and a few friends, are celebrating Lauren's birthday during the holidays since she is a Christmas baby. However, once the other women grow tired of Lauren bragging about her success, even though she is a stay-at-home wife, attitudes and snide comments take control. Over the course of the evening, things escalate and the entire cast gradually gets involved in the free-for-all until everything hits the proverbial fan. Everyone has dealt with someone that they wish they never met. What happens when you have more than a dozen of them in the same house? Find out in "I Wish I Never Met You."

Director Statement

“Everyone evolves and matures with age and so has my audience. I feel like I have told an evergreen story that will resonate with people from every walk of life for years, or even decades. The topics explored in the film are real-life situations that people have to navigate through daily. Love is never painless, and this is a film that will have to be watched over and over to catch everything that is going on. Like my books, I like to keep people guessing and wrote an unpredictable storyline.”
