LOVE, DANIELLE - Feature Film
Love, Danielle (Feature Film)
Comedy/Drama
"Love, Danielle" is the first scripted feature film to tackle the decisions and issues faced by an individual who carries a BRCA gene mutation but has not been diagnosed with cancer. As part of the USA Film Festival, the film is screening [FREE] on Saturday, April 26, 2025 @4:00 p.m. at the Angelika Film Center & Cafe in Dallas.
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.
Approximately 1 in 200-400 individuals worldwide carries a BRCA gene mutation.
