The film stars Sue Smith and her pandemic release, "Tonight We Sail."
Director, Tessa Fleming, states, "The genesis for this work was inspired by the evocative lyrics and gorgeous sound of Sue Smith's You Come Calling. The song, for me, speaks to the paradox of the creative life. The longing and waiting in every artist, creator to merge with the muse that fuels them. Something calls to us, we find it, revel in the unification, the creation, and then we separate, only to begin again the search towards integration, towards wholeness."
