"Mission: TRANSITION CONDITION"
...is about entertaining audiences while exposing veterans to diverse modes of healing from PTSD. Glenn Towery, the writer/producer has dedicated this screenplay to finding ways that veterans can heal.
“A dramatic television series inspired by the hidden
battle facing America’s veterans.”
After 8 years in combat, retired US Army Officer, Lt. Colonel "David Smucker" knows how to survive war.
What he is struggling to understand is how to survive re-entry into civilian life. "David Smucker" has had success as the CEO of a Long Corporation after his discharge, yet his marriage is collapsing, his sense of purpose is unclear and his famous sense of humor is gone. The brotherhood that once kept him alive as a soldier has disappeared yes its true David is worried because many of the men and women he served with are succumbing to PTSD in various terrible ways.
Late one night, about 18 months ago a veteran and friend calls him, SPARROW, his staff sergeant from his old army days during the Afghanistan war. That phone call became the catalyst that changes everything for David. Sparrow, one of the bravest clear headed soldiers David has ever had the pleasure of serving with is falling apart. David tries to reassure Sparrow that everything will work out but he knows in his heart that it may not. After the phone call David decides he must take action.
Over the next 18 months David Smucker writes out plan to create a facility that offers treatments free of charge for any veteran who seeks treatment there, treatments to properly transition veterans back into the civilian world. David has a theory, that each soldier has lost something important in their development when they come home and he plans to use the Arts and a combination of acceptable practices as well as some new and innovative therapies to help veterans overcome the worst effects of PTSD.
David sinks his entire life savings into the creation of the facility and he names it: Mission: TRANSITION CONDITION , a place to treat veterans suffering with the PTSD. He hires the best therapists and professionals that he can find. Professionals with experience who know how to combat the invisible war many veterans face after service: isolation, identity loss, and trauma. These dedicated men and women work tirelessly with veterans everyday to help them find the joy again in life restoring their purpose after the uniform comes off.
But this is not only a story about suffering, it is also a story about overcoming and winning the war against anxiety, depression and paranoia . This story is about brotherhood, redemption, and finding a reason to continue life. As a series, Glenn Towery believes, television can possibly reach millions of veterans and their family members who may finally understand what a veteran goes through when they suffer with PTSD and ways created to deal with that internal pain.
"MISSION: TRANSITION CONDITION" will be produced in Central Texas, primarily in Austin ,Round Rock and Georgetown, Texas. A multi-million dollar facility has been donated to Glenn Towery, to shoot the first pilot episode of our series. We are not a nonprofit corporation, but we act like one. The funds that we receive will be used to make the best series pilot possible.
IN 1997 Glenn Towery graduated from prestigious Columbia College Hollywood
earning a bachelors degree in Cinema while becoming the very first Black valedictorian in the nearly 50
year history of the school.
Glenn Towery was presented a "CONGRESSIONAL COMMENDATION" on October 15, 2022, from
Representative John Carter and the 117th United States Congress for creating the 
Veterans Arts Festival (AVAFEST) and the Veterans Suicide Prevention Channel
