FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SCREAMING INTO THE WIND
Film’s Riveting Message on Grief and Abuse
Winter Park, FL ., February 16, 2023/CELEBRE MEDIA VIP, LLC
Evie Ingle, trapped in grief and a continuum of abuse by the men in her life, takes matters into her own hands using her art as a dark catalyst for change. Years after losing her only child from stillbirth, Evie is confronted with the chance to rewrite her story and find her voice again. Through visual and sonic storytelling, the audience will experience Evie’s inner world without the use of dialogue.
While grief and abuse can be seen on screen, they are rarely portrayed in a manner so succinct that nearly everyone can identify. Kevin O’Neill, the writer and director of, with Melissa McNerney, who is the producer and actress in the film, have taken two underrepresented life issues and brought them to the screen in a way that is engaging, captivating, and will bring realization to an often unspoken side of abuse. The journey brings thought-provoking insight and a twist that is riveting!
The project is near completion and looking to make its way to a screen near you soon. This is a call for those who share in the passion of film, grief support, domestic violence, advocacy, and education to get involved and help shift perspective and effect change.
