About the Films

Join us for double feature exploring the themes of life and death and how we live in between to the fullest. First up, Hold (14 minutes), is the story of Virginia Campbell, who simply tries to hold on to her beloved status quo when extenuating circumstances bring her adult daughter, Julia, back home. Personalities collide after a phone call propels mother and daughter to a moment of reckoning. On a morning that is both ordinary and extraordinary, Virginia and Julia's hands are forced as they must test the ties that bind.

The second film, Sister Una Lived a Good Death (72 minutes), follows a terminal cancer diagnosis of Sister Una--a smoking, drinking, wisecracking Catholic nun dedicated to mentoring teens--who chooses to live life to the fullest in the face of death. The self-proclaimed "leader of the misfits" takes on her last nine months by planning her funeral, tackling her bucket list, and teaching us that death isn't the end of our story.
