This was not an easy short to make. I debated for weeks if I wanted to talk about a subject that was so fresh and so extremely personal to me. But, then I thought about how miscarriage is something that isn’t talked about, and how most women and couples feel alone when it happens to them, so I decided to make the film. I hope in some way, it helps someone who has experienced miscarriage at any time, but specifically during the covid pandemic, not feel so alone.
