Feature Film Non Union
Los Angeles
Synopsis:

Based on a remarkable true story, the film follows our lead, a woman whose lifelong struggle with depression and self-destructive thoughts threatens to consume every aspect of her life. After a devastating crisis leaves her and her loved ones searching for hope, she discovers an unexpected lifeline through endurance athletics. As she pushes her body beyond limits she never thought possible, she begins the far more difficult climb toward self-worth, healing, and purpose. Facing setbacks, fear, and the voice in her head that has haunted her for years, she learns that recovery is not about reaching a finish line—it's about choosing, every day, to keep moving forward. This incredible project is an uplifting true story of courage, perseverance, and the transformative power of finding strength when all seems lost.
