NOT FADE AWAY
 
FIRST FEATURE FROM SUSAN AND WAYNE BOYER
 
This darkly comic drama about an embittered daughter dealing with her mother’s rapid descent into Alzheimer’s features the stunning debut of Liz Jahren and a powerhouse performance by two-time Academy Award (r) nominee, and Emmy and Tony-winner, Shirley Knight, who can currently be seen on the blockbuster series, “Desperate Housewives.”

“One of the best of the fest...Shirley Knight is brilliant...first-time actress Liz Jahren brings honesty to her role...heartbreakingly realistic...”  Kevin B. Thomas, SF Examiner

We assembled an amazing cast and crew on our executive producer, Carol Farrow’s vineyard ranch in Geyserville, CA, the wine country north of San Francisco, for a truly memorable, once-in-a-lifetime shooting experience.  We are excited to share our experience with you on this site, and keep you posted on our progress with the film.
 
Thanks for visiting!
