What Ever Happened to Jonny Faith
Short Screenplay | 15 pages
Benjamin Pollack, Malibu, CA USA

Synopsis: A famous country singer who disappeared at the height of his career 30 years ago tries to make things right with his son before it is too late.

Inspiration: One day my father-in-law came over to sing to my 1 year-old son.  He had long hair and a scruffy beard and as he started to sing his folksy song to my son the entire story flashed in front of me.  That night I wrote the script.

Keywords: #Singer #Drama #Faith #Family #Father
