While Britney helplessly watches her options for legal abortion vanish from her world, a late stage miscarriage threatens to destabilize Karen beyond the point of recovery.

Context:
We had a two and a half hour shoot with the actors, with one hour of set-up. It was insane, stressful, and fantastic. There are about a dozen shots we lost because of time, but improvised well so we got what we needed. The camera battery died, so the last minute of the film was shot an iphone. HA!

Thrilled with how it came out! Loved the team I worked with.
