MILFORD, PA — Olive Gallagher, a native of Milford and president/CEO of Moonlight Man Productions, an indie film and television production company, is the screenwriter/director/producer of “Journeys,” an indie feature set for principal photography in Milford in September of 2017. The feature roles of Olive and Adalbert Hardwell will be played by Laila Robins and James Morrison respectively.

“Once Laila read the script and felt compelled to play the role of Olive, she sent the script to her dear colleague, James Morrison, who, in turn, decided he simply had to be a part of things, too,” said Gallagher.

“Journeys” takes place in 1949 and is based on a true story about Gallagher’s father, the late Sidney L. Krawitz, a highly respected attorney and past president of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, and a penniless woman named Olive who came to him to borrow $25 to bury her husband because she heard Sid was “an easy touch.”

Laila Robins was most recently seen in Season 2 of the TNT series Murder in the First and Showtime’s Homeland as Martha Boyd, the smart, no-nonsense U.S. ambassador to Pakistan. She has also appeared in a wide variety of other film and TV roles.

An actor of 40 plus years, James Morrison appeared in “Catch Me If You Can,” “Jarhead” and “ The Jazz Funeral” (an official selection of Dances with Films festival in L.A.), among other films, as well as in a variety of TV shows.
