SYNOPSIS:

ACROSS THE WAY by Perry Guzzi
Chris Spencer’s acting career has taken off and she’s moving herself and her sister Abby to Los Angeles. There’s a problem — the emotionally fragile Abby wants to stay behind in NYC to care for a dying stranger. As far as Chris is concerned that’s not going to happen; no matter the boundaries she must cross to stop it.

SILVER ALERT by Diane Sansevere-Dreher
Dina’s father, suffering from dementia takes off in his 1965 Cadillac. Dina issues a Silver Alert to find him and while searching for clues she uncovers the story of a father she never knew – a man her mother denies exists.

MY FAVORITE HUSBANDS by Andrew Marvel
Mark’s ex-boyfriend is tying the knot to a rising Republican assemblyman, with GOP big shots dotting the guest list. Despite the strong objections of his current boyfriend, Mark feels compelled to crash the wedding — in bad drag. A comedy about what happens now that gay marriage is here, and what might happen next!

SEX IN A COMA by Susan Eve Haar
A prosecutor on her own mission, a boy on a quest for love, and a girl who wants to wake up.
Sex in a Coma is a mystery, a Romeo and Juliet of the comatose –or a crime?

I can see how solid training has helped on set especially when the director leaves the scene choices up to you. Thanks for my wonderful HB teachers!
