The Secret of Shady Lane
Hello! Thank you so much for your interest in this film project The Secret of Shady Lane. My name is Lainie Smith and I am an Actor, a Writer, and the Project Creator of this screenplay.

The story itself, deals with Consequence; mostly from keeping "secrets" and doing the wrong thing for the right reason. One such secret brings into focus, the story of the Murtaugh family. A well-adjusted, loving family, with one dark secret. On the night of their 15th wedding anniversary, that secret comes to light, and in an unexpected twist, it is quickly returned to the dark.
To watch the FULL SIZZLE VIDEO, visit our FaceBook page @ShadyLaneSecret. Make sure to LIKE, FOLLOW, and SHARE with others. Every Effort Makes a Difference!
ALSO, there are now DONATION REWARDS listed at the bottom of this Site, but know that ANY AMOUNT helps to move this project to IN PRODUCTION.
The Secret of Shady Lane is my first Film Project -- my Passion Project, and I now have everything in place to begin filming. What I need now is your help in funding the project to bring the story to life. The screenplay is ready for Production, and what we need is YOUR help. It will be with your support, donations, and contributions that we can make this happen! Please, any donation amount moves the project closer to the Production Phase, and once Crowdfunding is attained, filming will begin April, 2021.
