Kay Sumner with her husband, Murray Sumner, established their non-profit, Not One More Time, Inc. in 2018 for the purposes of creating, packaging, and disseminating film, print and media educational content. The motivation for its creation was due to the unfortunate loss of the two Founder’s 43 yr. old son to a drug overdose. They struggled to understand how this could have happened, and how it could have been prevented. Filmmakers by profession, the Sumner's chose to channel their grief and turn their talents into creating a documentary that would expose the destructive path that opioids can cause in the lives of everyday normal people. The result is her directorial debut with a critically acclaimed 54 min. documentary film entitled SURVIVORS (2021): UNTOLD STORIES IN AMERICA'S OPIOID CRISIS, detailing real stories of opioid recoveries and losses which has won multiple best feature documentary awards.
