Shot in 2022 over two frantic days in L.A, Ex-Husband tells the story of Allison Chambers, a successful, foul-mouthed executive who abuses alcohol and everyone around her, receives earth-shattering news and chooses to change her selfish ways.
Writer’s Note: I first wrote Ex-Husband in 2005 because I was tired of seeing my wife struggle to land an acting job that would play to her strengths as the funny, badass woman she is. There just weren’t any irascible female characters out there that could straddle the line between comedy and drama, and I thought Allison Chambers would pull on the heartstrings like so many of my favorite male characters did in movies like Glengarry Glen Ross, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and As Good As It Gets. But I couldn’t find anyone who wanted to take a chance on an “unlikeable” female character, and I filed away “Ex-Husband” and went to work in the gaming industry for 15 years. When I blew the dust off this script that may have been ahead of its time, I was happy to see it still spoke to me and I knew it had a real shot at being something special today. I’ve been seeing so many women filmmakers take the industry by storm and I knew they could breathe life into “Ex-Husband” in a way that just wasn’t possible back then.
