Susie Singer Carter
A true story based on a former singer named Norma "Nanny" (Valerie Harper) from the East Coast, now suffering from Alzheimers, has a chance encounter after leaving the safety of family and friends to explore the streets of East Los Angeles. With her watchful caregiver, Irlanda (Liz Torres), on her heals, their brief but adventurous journey takes a dark turn when they stumble upon "the Girl" (Harmony Santana), a wild character with an unexpected narrative. The meeting proves to have a profoundly positive effect on three very disparate - desperate - women with unpredictable results. Fearlessly facing potential dangers with sardonic humor as they face crossroads in each of their lives, an urban adventure becomes a funny, poignant, and surprisingly encouraging story, where apparent disabilities can be redefined as gifts.

      • Trivia
        Susie Singer Carter wrote the final screenplay for Bratz The Movie, but lost credit in Writers Guild arbitration to the bewilderment of the producers and director. Her name appears as screenwriter on the final movie poster. She also forfeited her Associate Producer title when she entered into the arbitration which resulted in the loss of both credits.
