Written by Kristie Scruggs; Produced & Directed by Jim McQuaid
Fine Lines is a story about the distance between a good moment and a bad moment.
A Mom wakes up checks her phone, only to find a taunting post about her daughter. At breakfast, the Mom and daughter clash. And we see how a single day with a bad start creates other bad moments in a chain of life. And this bad day is intercut with the alternative: what happens if the Mom wakes up happy?
An unexpected benefit of moderating a screenwriters group has been the discovery of excellent short film scripts and, in some cases, the ability to produce the film in question. Fine Lines was one of these films.Kristie Scruggs has been a seriously committed screenwriter for several years. She also published a novel about a health system gone bad. And one of her recent scripts has gotten some attention for possible production.
Produced in 2021, we needed to require that all cast and crew provide proof of vaccination and sign a Covid waiver. But we were very lucky in finding the right cast and a great group of extras.
