Sari Earl | Writer

"Do Over" is a fictionalized story based on Earl's father's battle with ALS. It follows an estranged father and daughter who embark on a road trip, each hiding secret motives, but as unexpected detours and the dad's quirky caretaker draw them closer, they rediscover what it means to be a family. The script has been praised for its authentic emotional core and multi-generational appeal, drawing comparisons to films like Little Miss Sunshine.

Earl, a published author of over 10 books, lives with her family in Atlanta, Georgia. She brings her gift for blending humor and heart to this deeply personal screenplay.

“Do Over is the most personal thing I've ever written," said Earl. "I'm grateful to the ISA for this incredible opportunity to share my story at AFM.”
