GRACE, 5min,. USA
Directed by Jason Ivy
Originally created during the SAG-AFTRA strike as part of the SAG-AFTRA Short Film Series, the film "Grace" features a crew of actors working together for the first time to navigate the tale of a young woman dealing with the powerful manifestation of grief following a tumultuous family situation. The title, "Grace," implies slow, intentional movement, the space in between stages of life, the room you give to someone finding themselves again. Not every story has a happy or sad ending, but we feel it is important to have a message. We are delighted for you to experience Grace through your own lens and let us know what you feel.
