About the Production: I’ve been writing LAZY since I was 17, and it’s been a strange experience to watch the story evolve, looking at how I used to see the world and how I see it now. It wasn’t until I was at a crossroads in my life like the main character that I found LAZY to be my answer. It deals with the horrible epidemic of suicide that everyone deals with. LAZY is the story of how the friends,family,and community carry on after someone ends their life. Please take a moment and support a film that stands for more than entertainment.

Current Status: We are in the funding process and will begin filming late this summer.
