Conflicted

Written by: Kimberly Sanders

A forty year old, devout Christian’s life is forever changed when she learns her best friend and lesbian, Kenyatta Taylor, is terminally ill. Mary Jones is the epitome of a virtuous woman and could probably count the sins she’s committed in her lifetime on one hand, however, after her best friend is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Mary begins to question the very religion in which she’s so grounded. For a lifetime, Mary has repressed her love for Kenyatta and led her life as the Bible instructs, now she believes she must act on her hidden feelings before it’s too late. For a chance at true happiness, she’ll have to turn her back on not only her family but her beliefs.

 

 

 

Bio:

 

KIMBERLY DENISE SANDERS

 

Always having a passion for telling wonderful thought provoking stories, I started my writing career well before I had a true grasp of what the entertainment industry really was. Foregoing my dream of becoming a writer/filmmaker, I completed both my BA and MBA in Finance and went on to begin a career in corporate entertainment. It was not until my life was struck with the tragic death of my grandmother, did I return and vow to make a valiant effort at realizing my dream of writing and making films. Working with such well-known studios as, The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros, Paramount and Universal, I was able to learn first hand what the industry considered “greenlightable”. Thusly, I took the knowledge that I had garnered and in the late memory of my grandmother, Mossie Lee Williams, I opened Kudiville Films. Since its inception, I have diligently penned over 20 stories and as a result, the company has produced two shorts films (Traces of Tragedy and Pick), currently has 2 feature films in the development/pre-production phase and a company slate which includes 12 features, 4 pilots and 2 animated series. Subsequently, as a way of giving back and fostering the filmmakers of tomorrow, I created the non-profit organization Filmmakers & Entertainers Helping Enhance School Arts, (F.E.H.E.S.A.). The organization works with school districts nationwide to help retain and enhance art programs throughout grades K-12.
