ABOUT THE FILM"Conversations with Lucifer" Darby Quinn (Shevaun Kastl) is a 23 year old recovering addict who is headed for a relapse. She abides, albeit begrudgingly, by the suggestions set forth by her sponsor, Brooke, and the traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. But she is unable to share honestly about her feelings regarding her dysfunctional family and history of drug abuse. On her 30th day sober, Darby gets a cat to mark the milestone. The unlikely bond she forms with this furry companion provides Darby with the impetus she needs to face her demons; And it is this bond that sets her back on the road to recovery and ultimately saves her life. The idea for this story came to me in the middle of a sleepless night back in May. As a member of a 12-step program myself, I constantly struggle to maintain control of my life, and often put up a facade to the outside world in an effort to maintain order. But when my fears and insecurities surface in the middle of the night, I am able to speak uncensored and exposed about the things I fear most. The funny comes from the fact that I am speaking to my cat And ridiculous as it appears, this scenario I believe is more common then one might suppose! Darby's story is one of hope and recovery, but also of dealing with pain and loss. It's a very real cinematic portrait of one woman's war with addiction told with irony and acerbic wit. My prayer is that it's message of hope will speak to all those touched by this illness and inspire them as they continue their journey toward sobriety. |
