”One night the power went out in my house and I had an epiphany. I knew I hated acting even though I’m a good actor.

She’s taken in by a family of healers and discovers her own strength. I have the script and am doing major rewrites right now. I’d love Ellen Page or someone like her to star in it. It needs a very strong actress.”
