‘Midday Black Midnight Blue’ – Directed by Sammy Soule and Daniel Talbott
Synopsis: Isolated in an empty house on the Pacific Northwest coast, Ian (Chris Stack) remains mired in grief and shame over the loss of Liv (Samantha Soule), a woman he loved dearly, who died some years prior. Ian’s reality becomes increasingly haunted by visions and fantasies, and the only person who identifies the extent of his spiral is Liv's surviving sister, Beth (two-time Emmy winner Merritt Wever). With the memory of Liv clamoring to be released, and his daily existence turning ever darker, Ian will have to find a way to let her go, even if it kills him. The debut feature by Samantha Soule and Daniel Talbott, "Midday Black Midnight Blue" is an expressionistic and cinematic poem exploring the labyrinth of grief and love.

With incredible performances from the entire cast, a mesmerising score, stunning cinematography, and a beautifully raw story – this is not to be missed!
