Conditional Love, An Independent Film Project
Just like the classic story of an actor getting discovered in Hollywood, first-time filmmaker Lisa Arbuckle was discovered while taking a film production class taught by Hollywood veteran Terence Donnelly, an award winning producer and assistant director. Arbuckle, submitted her first screenplay, Conditional Love, as part of a spring 2006 class project at Scottsdale Community College. The script attracted the interest of Donnelly, whose projects include the original film The Exorcist and several made for TV movies. Her next step was to attract a director that could effectively bring to life the comedy-drama project about an aging, neurotic, cynical mother of three grown children who wins the lottery and offers to give each of them two million dollars but with one stipulation. Before they can collect the money, they must change their current lives to meet her specifications and beliefs of what their lives should be. Arbuckle set her sights on Richard Benjamin. The veteran actor and director whose stage and film career spans more than 40 years, has directed 20 major films. Benjamin, who was the first director she approached, read the script and agreed to sign on to the project once financing is in place.
