One friend keeps her life quiet and planned. The other is impossible to pin down. Once a year, they find a day for each other and celebrate every holiday they missed.

The two friends on the beach

The writing

Maria and I wrote this one through an experiment we came up with together: each of us wrote a card to one of our best friends. Those cards became the script.

The film is still in the works. More soon.
