WINNER OF THE VISUAL AWARD at the DEEP CUT FILM FESTIVAL 2022:
"Can there be enough pink? For directors Gascho and Jones, the answer is no, as the hue dominates the frames in this gem of a short. The set dressing is perfect, the costumes are perfect, and each shot is perfectly composed. For a film that takes place mostly in one room, these filmmakers make the absolute most of every square inch in the frame."
