Head down since August working on a comedy feature - the result of an excellent mentorship program.
A fragile woman with an unhealthy reliance on her helicopter parents gets a chance at growth and redemption when both she and her fed-up therapist are held hostage in a dysfunctional bank robbery.

I've had mentors, but I've never done a mentorship program, Wendy Appelbaum. Maybe one day.

Wendy Appelbaum what inspired you to write this?

Mario Leone Good question - the focus changed from a previous version that I had written years ago where a patient was obsessed with therapy to something more focused on the impact of helicoptering... I definitely was not working from an outline on this one :)

Jed Power It depends on who and the program. Depends on where you're at in your career and what you're looking to get out of it

Thank you - it still needs some work I believe but working hard to push it over the finish line.

Pushing it through the finish line always seems to be the hardest part. I love the concept and dynamic. Best of luck and keep hammering the rock.

Me? I'm finishing up a draft of a spec I'm working on called "Epoch." Couple weeks of tuning (pushing it through the finish line) and it will be ready for the first batch of feedback. No rest for the weary...

Hey Wendy Appelbaum, this looks terrific! It feels a little like The Ref, one of the greatest movies ever. I wish you much success with this, and look forward to hearing more about the project.
