Thursday, August 30, 2007 10:02:00 AM Pigs Fly in Florida Category: Career Class: 1979 Phyllis Redman (Class of 1979) and her husband, Eric Breitenbach have produced a feature documentary film that has received critical acclaim by film critics from Orlando, FL, to Hollywood, CA. "When Pigs Fly" chronicles the life of Lory Yazurlo, a former truck driver who was rendered quadriplegic in an on-the-job accident in 1991, and her subsequent descent into madness. A critic from the Hollywood Reporter writes: "Bottom line: An unflinching portrait of how a woman chooses to live after a devastating injury and a damning testament to the gaping holes in the workers' compensation system." Film Threat reviewer Cecilia Aldarando comments: "...there's a dark sensibility amidst all this Americana. 'When Pigs Fly' is a family narrative that is slightly twisted, with a dark humor about it all---not ironic, not sardonic, but not entirely celebratory either....[the film] forces our hand in considering our own judgments, and the power we wield in that moment. The film premiered in January 2007 at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in Palm Springs, CA. Redman and Breitenbach are hoping to sign a distribution deal before the end of the year.
