The Sabbatical

When a middle-aged university professor (James Whittingham) is forced to produce a new photography book while on his sabbatical, he finds that he’s no longer the hot-shot artist he once was. His workaholic wife (Bernadette Mullin) is nowhere to be found and his best friend is busy leading a family life. Alone and desperate, he befriends a young artist (Laura Abramsen) who turns his world upside down.

Attending for questions with the audience will be the director, Brian Stockton, associate producer Emily Berntson, and props and production designer, Kirsten Bligh.
