Description: This short film was created for the A3F 10 Day Film Challenge in February 2022. Our team undertook a lot with this short film. The script was new and gleaned from the world of a much bigger story. I partnered up with my son allowing for ample space to mind-meld our story and visuals. Excellent cast and crew! Sixteen teams made the deadline and screened.
Synopsis: Not everyone agrees with the choice of a pregnant mother.
