About this submission

After recently going through the grieving process, I wanted to share my own experience with dealing with unexpected guilt from being far away from family. There was a longing to be with those I love, but a fear of letting them down. I wanted to reflect different methods of grieving within my characters, while still showing them attempting to live their lives. As a female filmmaker, it is more important than ever to share stories of female bonding and acceptance. This tale of sisterhood reflects how we should support each other in these difficult times.
