HALLE FRIEDEN – WRITER/DIRECTOR
This project is very special to me because it is dedicated to my father, Blayne Frieden, who passed away in 2020. After attending the 30th anniversary of the EBOB Golf Tournament, the idea hit me and I haven’t been able to rest since. It’s not only my calling, but also my duty to share this story. I hope to reach the people who are experiencing grief and help them realize that they aren’t alone.
I have vast film knowledge and experience from working on the award-winning film Killers of the Flower Moon, Twisters, Tulsa King, and for the FX Hulu show Reservation Dogs. I have worked with professionals like U2, Jerry Schatzberg, Joy Harjo, Jason Isbell, Tom Morello, Noel Paul Stookey, Joyce Carol Oates, and NBA player, Lindy Waters III.
