Last Night of Normal follows the story of Molly as she tries to escape her recent cancer diagnosis and the overwhelming presence of her mother.
It bothers me that women are underrepresented and misrepresented in the film industry. They're usually portrayed as plot devices, eye-candy or countless other tropes that we're all familiar with.
As a man raised and surrounded by strong women, it was really important to me that I write a fully formed human being with Molly. So, along side with our amazing director Katanya Warwick, we have been able to bring Molly to life on the page and hope that you will join us in bringing her to life on the screen.
Another huge presence in Last Night of Normal is cancer. Unfortunately cancer is universal to all, whether it affects us directly or indirectly. I lost my grandfather to cancer and my grandmother is battling it right now. One incredible thing that I noticed during my grandfather's illness was the strength that emerged from him. This is a remarkable occurrence in a lot of people who are battling this disease. The deeper I dove into it, the more I realized that was mainly for our sake and not for the person fighting the disease. I wanted to explore this vulnerability and the denial aspect of grief through Molly’s character and bring to life how real people honestly react when facing their own mortality.
