Kay and Murray Sumner

Kay Sumner is an Emmy Nominated Producer and Film Director. She has three Emmy nominations and two People’s Choice awards as the Co-Creator and Producer for The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan. Her directorial debut is a critically acclaimed 54 min. documentary film entitled “SURVIVORS,” detailing real opioid stories of recoveries and losses. She, along with her husband Murray, who is the co-executive producer of the documentary, have also set up a non-profit, Not One More Time, to raise awareness about the opioid crisis. The motivation for its creation was due to the unfortunate loss of their 43-year-old son to a drug overdose. They struggled to understand how this could have happened, and how it could have been prevented. Filmmakers by profession, they chose to channel their grief and turn their talents into creating a documentary that would expose the destructive path that opioids can cause in the lives of everyday normal people. Their mission is to produce more media and educational content that delves into revealing the largest epidemic in modern history that is hidden in plain sight!
