Writer Statement

This screenplay is a passion project born out of a promise made to my dear friend Olympia several years ago. She was to be the lead. But unfortunately, she passed away last year, but not before I had the beautiful opportunity to read to her what I had written up until that visit. I honestly did not think I would finish the project, as I vividly saw her in the role and the scenes as clear as day as I was writing. But I was reminded that I made a promise and that I should...needed to... finish the script. And that advice was what I needed to hear because I made her a promise, and I do not break promises. So, this screenplay is, For Olympia, with love.
