12 HOURS
12 HOURS is a very personal short film I wrote (and am directing and producing) based on my own experiences as a single mother of a son who has suffered from substance use disorder since he was fourteen years old. He is now 29, homeless in San Francisco, and addicted to fentanyl. I often found myself doing things that I would not normally do such as searching for my son all hours of the night in dangerous places when he would go missing. 12 HOURS is a suspenseful film that follows a single mom, Lena, who searches for her missing fentanyl-addicted teenage son over the course of twelve hours while experiencing the five stages of grief: denial, bargaining, depression, anger, and acceptance. It is a proof of concept for a feature, however it is also a standalone film.
