Written & Directed by Jacqueline Christy

Comedy/Drama/USA/ 94 min.

Harriet, a once-promising filmmaker, is stuck in the suburbs of New Jersey. Alienated from her cheating husband and spurned by her teenage daughter, she secretly enrolls in film school. She leads a double life and loves the grueling, yet exhilarating world of student filmmaking. But, when she gets fired off her own film and found out by her daughter, Harriet must decide if her life’s ambition is pure folly or a dream worth saving. 

Director’s note: I hope my audience will see themselves in the hopeful and hapless lead character and feel their own untested dreams. The magic hour is a time of transition. The beloved beauty of “magic hour” light comes from this transition into the mysterious unknowability of what might come next.
