About the Project

Are you a film professional or actor looking to sharpen your development eye on prestige, character-driven material?

With the character arcs and screenplay for the feature film Threads of Fire fully realized, we are bringing on a focused collaborator to provide professional script coverage and assist with targeted industry research.

logline:

After a traumatic car crash and an abusive relationship leave her body wracked with fibromyalgia, a holistic health practitioner fights to be believed-by doctors, by her family, and by herself-as she uncovers the hidden science connecting trauma, chronic pain, and healing.

'' Threads Of Fire'' is based off my book ''Breaking Free From Pain''. My name is Shari Emami, and I am an award winning author, holistic practitioner , guest speaker and published writer.
