A Bright Second

OFFICIAL SELECTION - Sunscreen Film Festival - 2019.png

Screening at the Sunscreen Film Festival in St. Pete, FL, on Friday, April 26th!

An unlikely pair, separated by a chasm of two generations, explores the nooks and crannies of Florida’s artistic and quirky underbelly. This singular friendship between two kindred spirits separated by nearly 50 years illuminates the nuances of age, nostalgia, body image and bonds between women.

A Bright Second considers the ubiquitous problem of ageism in the most appropriate setting possible: the Sunshine State. This ode to Florida examines the paradox of living in the age of SnapChat and the age of nostalgia--a time when seniors are living longer than ever and young people are avoiding adulthood more determinedly than ever.

Our Everlasting Universe of Things

After a series of rejections, adult-child Alma (Chanel Waterhouse) reaches out to her estranged soul-sister, Jillian (Caitlin Morris), who is now a budding legal professional with her own set of secrets. As they reunite on the brink of their 30's for an upstate nature retreat, they fight to enjoy the moment but find that soon the past comes bubbling up, forcing them to confront the realities of their friendship, their differences and the growing pains of adulthood.
