The power of addiction over some people’s lives is palatable.  So many people get caught up in behaviors that seem harmless at first only to find themselves at the end of a relationship.  That’s a consequence of process addictions.  But there is hope.  In this drama, we explore one man’s addiction and its impact on his relationships.  Telling the story through a series of flashbacks is a chosen technique to relay how trauma may have set itself firmly in a person’s psyche and allowed some behaviors to grow out of control.

This is all serious stuff, as a drama can be.  At Westwood Studios we tell stories, about life. There's enough drama in everyday life to fill a movie screen. We set forth to write a compelling story about an average married couple and the challenges for Anya to comprehend it all. As a filmmaker, I wanted to write a story based on some truths.  While it is cathartic to see one’s words come to life, it also sparks the thought of how one’s story could be helpful to others.  Through the characters' lives, the film watcher gets to explore sound psychological theories about the nature of addiction. The process of putting together such a film means care and collaboration at many stages.  

I have had over 28 years of making commercial and corporate videos through my first video company, Envision Productions.  It's still in business, but I wanted a new name for this filmmaking venture.  So Westwood Studios, LLC was born this year! I went to a film school in the 1980s. A very different era of filmmaking to be sure.  Keeping up with current techniques in the art of filmmaking has been joyous to research and implement.
