Almara's Story
HD / 4:49 min / 2011/ scene study WIDC 2011, Banff Centre

This is part of the scene, I wrote and shot during my participation at Women in the Director’s Chair 2011 at the Banff Arts Centre.

The scene is part of a feature length proposal about an immigrant care worker from the Philippines who leaves her own family behind to search for a better life in Canada.
