Director Statement

I wrote the screenplay, White Rose, last year after my business partner contacted me to turn his stage play into a short film. Shortly after researching child sex trafficking, I found myself traveling down a rabbit whole of heartbreaking statistics and a reality that had been hidden in plain sight. As a mother to a 3 year old daughter, the realization that so many young children were being trafficked right in my backyard shocked me.

Mia, the main character in this screenplay, gives you a first person perspective of life as a trafficked teen. Her world is turned upside in the blink of an eye and she is forced to fight for her survival. Our hope is to raise awareness and evoke a positive change for youth living this nightmare daily. This is a story of heartbreak, loss, redemption and self-discovery. My hope is that it will develop into a series so that we can shine light on all of the darkness of human trafficking.
