Principal photography completed in June 2022 and the film is complete! It premiered in Arizona at the ShowLow Film Festival in September 2023 and has been on a great festival tour so far. Keep an eye out for where we might be playing near you in 2024.
The story shares perspectives from three different generations, truth seeking but still at times very lost as they deal with generational trauma.
I 'm delighted to be cast as Jolene Brooks in this film. The female gaze and perspective Caz brings is deeply felt in this film. It's a heart moving vulnerability and yet gritty fierceness slice of life that these women choose to navigate through what life has handed them and/or recognizing their line of choices.
