With a debut bestseller under her belt, author Betty Ray Robinson is laboring to scribe a stellar follow-up when her old friend Doubt shows up at the door.
When this negative Nancy tries to cast a shadow over the writer’s confidence,
Betty’s on the hook to shine a positive light on her life’s work.
Filmed in idyllic Princeton, NJ thanks to a wonderful crowdfund and Executive Producers, Raven Petretti-Stamper and Josephine Fisher, and the incredible directorial style of Mark Riccadoona, My Friend, Doubt is currently in post.
We will be submitting to film festivals once the film is done and hopefully bringing this
stellar piece to a city near you.
