During the Night - drama, 11:08, b/w, 2009
Stacia Rice and Kirsten Frantzich star in this poetic black and white film about sisters who must make a difficult decision about life and death.
Doubt and isolation inhabit their lives until one can finally say goodbye.
Director's Statement
I was daydreaming once... and the first line of a scene popped into my head.
"You look troubled," he said to the dark haired woman.
I let this play out in my imagination.
I eavesdropped as the woman talked about her sister who had passed away recently.
She said she felt helpless and isolated as her sister moved closer and closer to death.
It reminded me of experiences in my own life.
All this, and much more became "During the Night". JB
