SCHMALTZY & PRINCIE SYNOPSIS: MaryLee’s dad, ‘Schmaltzy’ has been her best friend her entire life, always there for her. Her mother, not so much. Despite lifelong aspirations of a career as an actor and writer, MaryLee, ‘Princie’, has never been able to wholeheartedly commit to, or finish, well… anything. Even with her daddy’s undying support. And the cacophony of voices in her head don’t help. Or do they?

Now in her fifties, and with a Sundance screenwriting competition deadline looming that could be a life-changer, she clings to Anaïs Nin’s words, “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

"With less than three days to “blossom”, for however much a post-menopausal woman can, MaryLee needs to overcome her fears, stop dreaming and start doing, and it all begins with this script. But they're called deadlines for a reason--some people in her life are going to have to go.
