Lessons in Gravity

When Angelica Simms, single mother and writer-of-her-generation, escapes to a college campus for the inspiration to shake her writer's block, she runs headlong into the young, misogynistic-boy-wonder-physicist, Mac.  Soon, these ‘strange attractors’ become locked in an inevitable orbit and Angelica's life heads on an unexpected trajectory.

Writer Biography - Sam Ellis

Sam Ellis is an American screenwriter, hailing from a small steel town. Descended from coal miners, farmers, and schoolteachers, Sam saw a packed matinee showing of Star Wars on a cold February Saturday in 1978 at the Cinema I-II-III, and that was that.

Sam is always writing, in any genre, except on the Western Pennsylvania Sabbath - Steelers Sundays in the fall.
