Sheridan Cole is a high school senior on the threshold of her future. The most important thing to her in storytelling is creating stories where characters of a marginalized group have agency in their own lives and decisions. Sheridan loves filmmaking and plans to be an award winning director and screenwriter in the future.
A college freshman arrives on campus with her loyal guide dog. Whispers from the trees lead her to question her purpose: will she be an advocate or a bystander?
As research for our screenplay featuring a character who is blind with a guide dog, we interviewed Lorri Bernson, who works at Guide Dogs of America and has had four guide dogs of her own.
