Margo Martindale Reads ‘Dead Letters’ in First Image From New Drama

Emmy winning actress, Margo Martindale, is officially stepping into her next drama-heavy role thanks to the first look at Dead Letters. The title marks the feature-length directorial debut of David Drake, who also penned the screenplay inspired by his childhood as the son of a truck driver. The film, which has just wrapped production, will follow Martindale’s character — a long-haul truck driver — whose traumatic past comes back to haunt her. After years of trying to find peace following the tragic murder of her daughter, the woman comes to find that the killer is seeking parole and that there’s a good chance they’ll be let out onto the streets again.
