Can I Love You?

Creator: Kymon Greyhorse

Families are complicated and dysfunctional. Being the backbone of our family, it was the unthinkable for my Mom to leave home for college in search for a better future. She was the mother figure putting her siblings before herself. I wanted to speak about the unfortunate progression to when that limit is reached. I wanted to shine light on a story of the tough love and sacrifice necessary to break an unforgiving cycle. This script developed with the belief that her story, the dreams she thought were too big, were universal and would inspire many in similar situations.
