Cinematographer / Producer Peter C.B. Masterson and Producer Mary Stuart Masterson with Stony Brook FF Director Alan Inkles
Producer Mary Stuart Masterson said, < INSERT QUOTE > "This project, from development through production, and now through distribution, has been so gratifying. The set was a magical place where everyone felt totally safe to take creative risks with this emotionally raw and delicate material about the toxic nature of silence within a family. It was the ideal first film for Barn Door Pictures for its uniquely strong script combined with its ability to be shot on an ultra low budget without anyone looking over our shoulders."
