Written by Vera Herbert, DON'T MAKE ME GO tells the story of Max (John Cho), a single father who discovers that he has a terminal disease. Grieving the time he will lose with his teenage daughter Wally (Mia Isaac), he brings her on a road trip in an attempt to compound the love and support that he will miss. In this 1on1, we speak to Herbert about writing as catharsis and the relationship between humour and grief.
