Finding my voice
Melanie dreams of becoming a singer but when her world is ripped apart by tragedy and she’s forced to confront a dark family secret, fate has other plans. Feature film due for release 2024.
Melanie is a troubled teenager, her mother, Lisa an alcoholic; both struggling against a world seemingly set against them. Maria, Lisa’s sister, has married the wealthy music producer Chris and enjoys a lavish lifestyle. Melanie’s efforts to take care of her two younger brothers are laudable, but crisis turns to tragedy when ten-month old sister Katy succumbs to a sudden illness. Melanie runs away, only to fall under the influence of the mesmeric Kizzy, who lures her into a world of drugs and prostitution. Melanie runs again – but only into even greater danger. Meanwhile, a family secret is confronted: but has it all come too late for Melanie?
