I simply can not believe this was a first time filmmaker. I am blown away! This film is beautifully told and brilliantly acted. This story ripped my heart out, and I found myself in just a puddle of mush watching it. I have not been that stirred by emotion in a film in a long time. The direction is perfect and I can't wait to see the future unfold for this young director. Get to know her name, cause the future is bright for her.
