One of the topics discussed was the short film, "Something About Tomorrow," that Mann-Grant participated in.
"Linda Hamilton, a high-powered attorney, has spent her life winning battles in the courtroom, but nothing prepares her for the fight that begins when her daughter, Sophie, nearly dies from a heroin overdose. Struggling to understand how her bright, talented child became an addict, Linda is consumed by guilt. Meanwhile, her ex-husband, Ray, sees an opportunity to take Sophie to live with him, claiming Linda’s career is to blame. Old wounds resurface, forcing Sophie, Linda, and Ray to confront past hurts and actions. In the end, they realize that addiction isn’t about blame—it’s about love, understanding, and the difficult journey toward healing, together."
The film, which is a finalist in the Peachtree Village International Film Festival, stars Mann-Grant, Lamman Rucker, Katherine Norland, and Duane Finley. More information on the short, including the trailer, can be found HERE.
