Director April Phillips tells more than just the story of someone being alone in the world..." Utah Film Festival & Awards Review

SCREAMFEST, HOLLYWOOD OCTOBER 2020
British writer/director April Phillips created this thoughtful, provoking and engaging (in every way!) short tells the tale of a woman who must make choices in the aftermath of a global pandemic and it’s clear from frame one that this is the work of a gifted and skilled filmmaker whose future works I predict will also be five star. (Jason Coleman, "Why So Blu?")
