Five years ago today, I uploaded a short film I wrote, directed, and edited called Torn-Between. It’s a story about a young woman in her early 20s on a vacation in Maine. She is stuck between making the choice people in her life want her to make and the choice she wants to make. She reads books and wanders around scenic landscapes trying to figure out what she wants to do.
