Are We there Yet?

Synopsis:
Amanda has to figure out her liferight now! Her job largely entails dealing with angsty child actors, her ex-boyfriend keeps popping up in her thoughts and on her phone, and when she's hit with something much, much more overwhelming, she first has to deal with all the well-meaning support thrown her way. Are We there Yet? is a lightning-paced, bittersweet comedy about illness and endurance that hits us all where we live.
