Lost In Sunshine filmmakers Lorie Marsh and Jentrie Chancey

LIS is a story about people running away from themselves in self-destructive ways that many of us recognize: adultery, addiction, workaholism, closeted homosexuality, and denial. It is our highest hope that our audience might come away from LIS inspired to look within themselves and see the power they have to make choices in their lives.
