Claire and Joseph

A terminally ill man struggles to manage his own care with that of his wife, who suffers from dementia. This short film was produced as part of the 2023 Moonrise Script to Screen Incubator Project, which provides an avenue for unproduced writers to have their short scripts be turned into films. Written by Arlana Gillis, the script was inspired by her parents, whose own story provided the basis for the film.
