Love, Danielle screening at the Omaha Film Festival!
When Danielle a happily married thirty-something tests positive for a BRCA1 gene mutation she learns that this puts her at a very high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Thanks a lot DNA! She now struggles with daily life working at her bakery with her hubby Pat and hanging out with her clueless best buds on game night. Her older smart-alecky sister Amy is already undergoing chemotherapy for a breast cancer diagnosis. Danielle now contemplates preemptively removing her "ticking time bomb" breasts and reproductive organs before cancer gets her too. Her decision-making process involves flashbacks of her screwed up childhood with absent parents bizarre anesthesia-induced dreams and toxic confrontations with her recovering alcoholic mother and self-absorbed 70's TV star father. Ultimately Danielle must figure out how to prioritize her health and well-being by putting herself first. "Love Danielle" is the first scripted feature film to address the decisions and issues faced by an individual who carries a BRCA gene mutation but has not been diagnosed with cancer. Approximately 1 in 200-400 individuals worldwide carries a BRCA gene mutation. GET TICKETS at: OMAHA FILM FESTIVAL https://off25.eventive.org/schedule/love-danielle-67a83eb21b39fdb6269931bc
