ABOUT
WAITING FOR NIA
2026 DRAMA
From Task Media Productions, the production company behind the award winning film The Voicemail and the documentary, Greater than Ourselves: the Legacy of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. "Waiting for Nia" explores the aftermath from the perspective of a fractured family. It examines how a single irresponsible act can force Justin and Tanya, a divorced couple, to confront their past as they face the uncertain fate of their critically injured daughter. This approach offers a fresh, poignant perspective on a familiar tragedy.
