Thank you so much to Short Films Matter for the kind 5-star review of DRAGONFLY!

Oh hey today is March 1st which means I’ve been clean for 18 years! Truthfully, I haven’t been to a meeting since the pandemic but my first 10+ years of solid recovery in Hollywood NA has kept me clean and (mostly) serene.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE TIDE is a coming-of-age dramedy for those of us over 30 about a Type A addict in recovery who desperately seeks her dying mother’s approval but the only way to earn it is by bringing home her newfound picture-perfect half-brother who is everything she should have been.
