Description

Please join us for the premiere of the pilot episode of the series, Her Hope Haven. This event is free and open to the public. Her Hope Haven is a comedy-drama series about a group of women working the steps toward their sobriety. Set in a women’s inpatient recovery center in Charleston, WV, Her Hope Haven is a place where women are given a chance to get their kids back, their dignity back, stay out of jail and stay alive. Their stories are more complex than only their addiction. Against the odds of societal expectations and the money making business of recovery, the women seek redemption through small stories of levity, euphoria and heartbreak. The women of Her Hope Haven persevere through working together, and at times against one another, to keep their sobriety as they build bonds with one another during the hardest time of their lives. It's not about the addiction, it’s about the recovery. From stories told and relationships built during the making of a documentary film with Debi Ellis and Ashley Ellis, Her Hope Haven was conceived. This series is based on stories of time spent in treatment before the filming of the documentary. This project was created in close collaboration with Ashley, as it is based on her life stories. Ashley shared her story in hopes she could help those who also struggle with substance use disorder to see that they are not alone. She helped to create, write, cast, act, and advise on all elements of making the project. This project would not exist without Ashley and I am forever thankful to her and grateful for knowing her. The documentary film, Picture Proof, is forthcoming. *please wear a mask inside to keep those around you and yourself as safe as possible.
