A few months ago, I was contacted by a director/writer who told me of a script he had written that he was planning to make into a movie. We chatted for quite a while, and I agreed to help him with promotions, interviews, and anything else I could. It just so happens that I finally have a moment to share about his upcoming film, so please read the press release below, and continue to watch for more updates that will be coming exclusively through this site every step of the journey.
Available for immediate release:
SUMMARY
To Avenge tells the story of two women and their divergent reactions to a terrible crime.
Days after her college graduation, Vera heads to the Maryland shore to meet up with a few friends. While on the boardwalk one evening, she attracts the unwanted attention of four men. Returning to her family’s beach house later that night, the men follow her home and sexually assault her.
After reporting the attack and receiving medical treatment, Vera returns to her “normal” life. She is relieved to learn that her attackers have been arrested and are in custody, but she is unaware of the media storm that awaits.Due to coercion behind-the-scenes, the DA is pressured to drop the allegations, citing insufficient evidence. With this development in the news, Vera senses her coworkers’ doubts concerning what really happened that night. She becomes increasingly withdrawn and with the exception of going to work, she rarely leaves home.
Unknown to Vera, someone is watching. Taarna, a young woman who is outraged by the injustices women face in sexual assault proceedings, is driven by a sense of frustration with a broken legal system. Though she does not know Vera, she is determined to right the wrong. In Taarna’s mind, if the system won’t obtain justice, she will.
Look for To Avenge casting announcements to begin in early January 2018.
