This narrative feature just sold out at the Woods Hole Film Festival and has been receiving critical and audience acclaim nationwide since its release in 2018.

"Swanson's screenplay avoids sentimentality, achieving instead the kind of gentle, humanistic comedy we rarely see these days in movie theaters" - Margot Harrison in SevenDaysVT and Rotten Tomatoes
