Logline: After her husband's suicide, a woman reclaims life for herself and her teenage son through comedy in “Standing In Water,” a genre-blending work of auto fiction creatively sprinkled with magical realism.
“Standing In Water” is rooted in my own experience of being suddenly widowed and the healing power of laughter.
