10 min (Drama)
Directed, Written, Co-Produced and Co-edited by Lisa Robertson
A woman nervously meets the daughter she gave up for adoption years before.
In this elegant, heartbreaking short film, the questioning daughter wants to know so much about her birth mother, why she gave her up and what happened to her. If ever there was a short film that begged to be expanded into a feature, smokeBreak is it. The subject is deep with questions on both sides for the woman who gave up her child and the child who is now an adult. - lynn slotkin
