A writer and filmmaker as well, Foster’s racially charged dramatic feature film, Hawks Ridge, is streaming on Amazon Prime. It was also turned into a play that premiered at The Lynn Theater in 2024 and was nominated for a RTCC award for Best Original Work. All love to his wonderful wife, Susan Sanford, and their beautiful children, Willow and Jordan! I would be nothing without you three!
