Synopsis: (Black Comedy) 'Exceptance' -- not a misspelling -- is a absurd and timely black comedy about Johanna (Caitlin Renee Campbell), a judgmental suburban mother who risks losing her teenage daughter forever when the daughter (Meghan Martin) reveals she is dating geriatric men. As you discover more about mom, however, the more you'll understand why we call 'Exceptance' a 'coming-of-RAGE traumedy' where to judge Johanna is to become her.

Production Background & Fun Facts: 'Exceptance' is a provocative character study made with love to create a professional opportunity for my hungry university students during my time as a professor in a region where such opportunities are still sadly rare.
