Susie's Story To Be Told

I am thrilled to announce that I have been hired as the Screenwriter for the upcoming film based on Susie, the puppy who was horribly beaten and set on fire and became the inspiration for NC's new legislation known as "Susie's Law."  Working closely with the non-profit group Susie's Hope (www.susieshope.com), I have become good friends with Susie and her owner, Donna Lawrence.  I have been amazed by the loving nature of Susie, despite the atrocity committed against her.  Susie demonstrates the power of love over violence.

I hope you will follow Susie's journey with me, as we bring this important story to the big screen.  I am honored to be working with dedicated and talented producers, John McKinny, Laura Hart-McKinny and Altair Casting and Production Services (www.altaircaps.com).  A significant portion of all proceeds goes to Susie's Hope non-profit work of animal abuse prevention and education.  If you would like to help, tax-deductible donations can be made to the film through Susie's Hope at http://susieshope.com/themovie.htm, and we will be listing all of the donors in the film's credits.

ABOUT THE FILM:
Based on a true story, a woman scarred by a pit-bull attack rescues a burned, abandoned puppy, but first she must learn how to heal herself.

The film follows Susie and Donna Lawrence on their journey from being victims of violence to being an inspiration for change, ultimately enacting “Susie’s Law,” new legislation preventing animal cruelty in the State of North Carolina.

As always, I tremendously appreciate your support in my many endeavors!  It's a crazy business, and your encouragement is my sanity.
