THE ADDICTION OF HOPE
The Addiction of Hope is a female driven independent feature film that touches on age, race, gender, family, health and the choices we make in life. Do our actions, our work, our relationships make us feel good? Do they fulfill us? Do we want the same thing at an older age as we did when we were younger?

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

It’s interesting why people sometimes ignore what seem like the obvious best choices in life. Despite the truth before them, they put on the blinders and put one foot in front of the other hoping not to step in a hole. Whether it’s career, family, health, age –we’re often forced to stand at a crossroads and choose a path. And we can only hope it’s the right choice. But hope has a way of allowing us to ignore the truth at times. And it can become addictive. It can lift us up and push us forward. Or if false hope, can hold us back and push us down. Joanne is fighting the hope that past glory holds, and possibly ignoring the hard truth that at her age, Hollywood is done with her. She only begins to consider change when forced to visit Lynnie, her ailing sister who’s got her own relationship with hope. Despite a less than perfect sibling connection, both of these women must lean on each other to make tough decisions rooted in truth. For anyone who’s stood at a crossroads in life and had to choose on which road to travel, The Addiction of Hope is a story of discovery about people realizing it’s never too late to make changes.
