“Liz is a force to be reckoned with and demonstrates that she is as tremendous a director as she is a writer and producer in her directorial debut,” said Berry Meyerowitz, eOne’s President of U.S. Film and Distribution. “‘Take Care’ is both side-splitting and enormously touching, and we know that audiences will laugh out loud and embrace her wonderful story.”
