Why Wyoming
Full Length Comic Drama, 3W, 3M
After winning her first Oscar, a young Hollywood starlet returns to her native state for her next film shoot. To prepare for the role, she calls upon a childhood friend upon whom she will base her character: an overweight, small-town mother. Nothing, however, can prepare her for the reckoning her past cruelties deserve.

Janet and Howard, a middle-aged mid-western couple, have different ideas about vacation. She wants adventure, risk, thrill, and danger. He wants a spa. After a humiliating day of white water rafting, it looks like their second-marriage has hit the rocks and only one of them will continue merrily down the stream.

Lowell returns home, after many years, to cremate his father and sell off his estate. Judd, the younger brother who stayed behind, has a different plan. What starts out as a dispute over their father's body and the land where they were born quickly turns into an unearthing of painful childhood memories and deep regret. This final meeting threatens more than just the loss of land, but the loss of brotherhood itself.
