In life there are unexpected moments that stay with you. Little breaths that make you feel alive…

Film Synopsis

Have you ever wondered about that instant between a lost moment and a lived moment? In her film moment, first time director Jill Carter beautifully captures the delicacy of such an instant with charming simplicity. Anne (Karen Cliche), a young professional is getting ready for her day. All the familiar images of morning are there. Two men(Jefferson Brown and Jason Gautreau) show up at her door unexpectedly and Anne's calm morning is filled with anticipation.

Theme

Life is made up of moments, moments that live consciously, taking them in, contemplating them, and considering them. But life is also made up of moments that we live unconsciously, letting them pass us by. We neither notice them nor are affected by them...or are we? What happens in a moment for it to move from our unconscious to our conscious, what part do we play in that transition? It is the universal truth of these moments that was the inspiration for this short film.
