my Directing debut: life in a vial

Life in a Vial is a short film that I wrote and directed, which debuted in May of 2020. The film stars fellow actors and my close friends, Leah Shifrel, Samantha Yestrebsky, and Miles Thompson. This is my directorial debut!!! 

Life in a Vial explores the very relevant issue of insulin affordability for type one diabetics in the United States. Throughout the film, the audience gets an intimate view of what life is like for main character, Abby (played by Leah Shifrel), as she struggles with how to afford her insulin.  

I am very honored that my film has been selected for eleven film festivals, including Lift-Off Global Network's First Time Filmmakers Fest 2020 (finalist) and the 2020 Colorado International Activism Film Festival (three time nominee). Life in a Vial is available to rent/buy on fentressfilms.com or Vimeo On Demand, and all the proceeds from the film will be donated to help advocate for affordable insulin!!
