THE MISSION
Director's Statement
"There was something about Angel By Thursday (ABT) that sucked me in and, ultimately, took us all on this incredible journey. Intrigued by the dynamics of family, I crafted ABT around choice and consequence of two broken families, miles apart, yet somehow linked and drawn together by tragedy. Intersecting a mother-daughter relationship shattered by drugs and two brothers marred in disability and smothered with guilt, it’s a story of forgiveness and hope, understanding and love, with a dash of mystery that brings them all together.
Is it fate? That’s for you to decide."
~ Jeff Wallace, writer/director
