Synopsis/Details
"Blowing Out the Candle" is a dramatic love story that spans more than a decade. Our story starts with Annie, a quiet, beautiful girl from a large Hispanic family, and TJ, a driven, self-deprecating computer tech, whose whirlwind romance spins to a stop when they fail to conceive a child naturally. Doctors put Annie through painful fertility tests and treatments, and TJ's focus on having a baby jeopardizes his job. Year after year of feeling trapped in a medical system that fleeces desperate couples for thousands and thousands of dollars pushes them to the brink. Their only option is to seek out an eccentric quack doctor whose unconventional methods point to a largely ignored medical condition that affects millions. When their chances of having a healthy baby are in danger, and they're up against challenges even doctors aren't equipped to handle...the only thing they have to count on is each other.

I've worked in news for 20 years and I have a ton of first hand experience chasing news stories and making journalists look human and relatable. I get to see people at their best and their worst, and I enjoy the challenge of finding a new and creative ways to get viewers to watch. I bring that sideways view to the scripts I write – personal stories about characters that struggle when they're forced out of their comfort zones. Go to bio
