Overview
"Inspired by real-life events, TAPPED OUT, is a drama series designed for cable or streaming platforms. About navigating the seasons of our lives with grace and humor, it explores themes common to my body of work, including family, mental illness, and suicide. With a diverse cast, it dives into the often-overlooked effects on family members after a loved one's suicide attempt, and illuminates the chaos that ensues. TAPPED OUT is a human perspective about living with and navigating mental illness from all sides, featuring a strong, older female protagonist. And much like my personal journey, she discovers what she is really made of in the face of adversity. It's about learning not to take ourselves too seriously, and finding light in the darkness. But mostly it's a story of hope and redemption, and proof that it's never too late to right old wrongs or reach for new dreams." -- Abstract
