</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> For those that don't know I am directing my first feature film “Maternal Pride”, a dark dramedy (more heavy on the drama than comedy). Shooting will begin in late January. The script is complete, the LLC has been created and now it's all about casting, location scouting and fund raising. This film is going to be the next step between student productions to truly independent filmmaking here in Cleveland, so this will be a very serious production amongst the crew. </font></div>

</span></font></div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><i>The Plot: Amanda Bachman is an average middle age woman with a simple home, an adoring husband and a precious six year old daughter. And she couldn't be more content. If it wasn't for the fact that her husband's company has suddenly decided it best to move to China and eliminate most of the jobs, maybe things could stay that way. Well, no matter, Amanda and a few of the other housewives are used to having to quietly keep their world on an even keel. Hopefully this time it won't require too much blood...<br clear="all">
