When their mother falls ill, twins Bridget and Brian return home to New Bedford to care for their declining parents, forcing them to confront old wounds, family dysfunction, and the lives they imagined for themselves. Blending honesty, humor, and emotional depth, What They Left Us explores grief, guilt, and growing up later in life than expected.
The screenplay earned a Best Feature Screenplay win at the Los Angeles Film Awards, along with praise from The Black List, which called it “a devastating read” that is “fiercely authentic.”
This is an unpaid table read and the event is administered by entities independent of SAG-AFTRA. Any questions must be handled by the providers.
