TAME THE WILD SKY


an original screenplay by Syrie James

Sept. 27, 2010
Los Angeles

TAME THE WILD SKY is a heartwarming drama about a teenaged boy who finds new direction in life when—with the help of a reclusive veterinarian—he rescues and rehabilitates a rare, injured falcon. It was a magical, unforgettable evening as a talented cast brought Syrie's screenplay to life for a very appreciative audience.
