We recently created bespoke strategies for a triptych of films from Canadian filmmaker Camille Hollett-French. The trio make up HER STORY (in three parts) with IN THE ABSENCE OF ANGELS:

"In the brutal aftermath of being raped in broad daylight, Crystal, a streetwise community mentor, is forced to make an irreparable decision that will shape the person she’s about to become."

We wish the team all the luck as they head on to the competitive circuit with our guidance. Happy submitting! 😊🎬🌎
