Death on a Rock

Ballard’s latest feature follows a young woman coming to terms with a trying event in her life.

Days spent in long-term care at the hospital bring reflection, desperation, and some family tension…even as the pain also brings happiness and growth. Told through flashbacks and drifting between memories and shifting consciousness, (Portland International Film Festival)
