An elderly woman has a secret she is compelled to tell her grandson. “You are royal,” she explains. “We are direct descendants of the Russian Romanov family.” But is this declaration truth or a figment of her imagination?
This short film deals with love and the devastating disease of Alzheimer and dementia.
I write films with a message; uplifting films that make you think and films that challenge who we are as humans. In SECRETS, we will see the compassion of a young man while examining an octogenarian’s grasp on reality.
Set to play the grandmother is actress Joyce Bulifant. Joyce has starred in many television series including the Mary Tyler Moore Show. A star in Disney films, Broadway shows, the film Airplane and a regular in many television series, Joyce is excited to bring SECRETS Grandma to life.
With your help, SECRETS will be seen around the world, bringing to the forefront a crippling disease effecting so many. Dementia is a heavy topic. But not to worry – the script is packed with heart. The entertaining story line ends with you, the audience, deciding what is the truth.
Information will be provided at the end of the film driving people who need medical resources to helping organizations.
