SYNOPSIS
Unable to attend his cousin’s wedding, Always Here follows a young adult processing his feelings of stagnancy with an old friend who’s not as honest as she appears.
MAKING OF
Filmed during the Covid-19 pandemic, Always Here was made possible through online rehearsals and testing and safety protocols. Written in response to the feelings of hopelessness associated with career and life coming to a halt, Always Here is a deeply personal and introspective piece which offers a timeless perspective on anxiety, happiness, and the value of living in the now.
