Hello, thank you for your interest in this project. My name is Nino Mancuso, I'm a 38 year old writer/director in Los Angeles, though I grew up in Cameron Park. I create independent short films and web series. We'll be filming in the Coloma/Georgetown Divide area for 3-4 days (short days).

This particular story is an 8-page short film (drama) set in Missouri in the 1930's. We'll be shooting in the Coloma/Georgetown Divide area in winter (the story is set around Thanksgiving).

The lead actress is a young girl whose family are sharecroppers and living in poverty. She attends school in a one-room schoolhouse with many other children like herself. 

My intention is to promote this film through festivals. I've had success with short films in the past (refer to my website), mostly dark comedies, and I'm hopeful this drama can continue in that vein.

Missouri, 1934 - As Thanksgiving approaches, Doris (8) watches as the turkeys her father raised that year are slowly sold off. But when one remains, she and her brother innocently assume that it's intended to grace their table...
