Not Alone (working title)

Short Film Non Union
Houston San Antonio
Synopsis:

After nineteen-year-old Emma is kicked out by her mom and stepdad for an unplanned pregnancy, she turns to her boyfriend Jack and his family with nowhere else to go. Overwhelmed by fear, shame, and the belief that she is becoming a burden to everyone around her, Emma quietly orders abortion pills. As Jack struggles to step up, his parents wrestle with the cost of helping, and a local pregnancy care center offers practical support, Emma begins to realize she does not have to face her crisis alone. Not Alone is a grounded faith-based drama about fear, compassion, and the life-changing power of being supported in the middle of a difficult decision.
