WAYWARD

A Short Film Coming in 2020

Wayward is my newest project and a story that I'm so excited to share with you!  Wayward is the story of a family divided by strong political views in Colonial America.  Will they succumb to anger only to lose their family forever? Or can they manage to find a common ground on which to stand and love each other despite their stark differences?

The year is 1781.  America is divided in unrest as some Colonists are loyal to King George of England, and others are determined to enforce their Declaration of Independence under General Washington’s leadership. 

In a reflection of the nation’s division, many families are also divided down enemy lines.  The Yates Family is one such family. Patriot family members defy Loyalists and the death of a son and brother cause emotions to intensify. As this family of five navigates the war and their own personal convictions, they will come to learn that the love of a family should always prevail in the battle between politics and relationships.  

Although set over 200 years in America’s past, I hope that this story will resonate with viewers as it reflects the strong social and political division that separates families today.  My hope is that it's a  poignant reminder that love is always the best response.
