Written by Arika Cullen, based on her personal experience, directed by Jim McQuaid.

Arika Cullen brought this short film script to the TFC Screenwriters Group. As the moderator, Jim read the description sections. However, since Diamond has one actor and no dialogue, Jim read the entire piece for the group. It was clearly a set of great moments in the life of this woman.

In the film, a woman's past calls to her. In the midst of emotional devastation, finding a snapshot of herself from a happier day gives her the energy to finally leave an abusive relationship.

Maxine Eloi gives a nuanced performance in this one-woman film without dialogue.


The film is available in multiple possible formats and delivery media. The master is 16:9, 1080p 24fps, Apple ProRes 422, stereo.
