Falling Overnight

Falling Overnight

Running time: 84 mins

Love cannot be planned or predicted, only embraced, regardless of fear and uncertainty.

On the eve of a risky surgery to remove a brain tumor, Elliot Carson meets Chloe, a lovely and vivacious photographer, who invites him to her exhibition. Knowing this could be his last night, Elliot welcomes the distraction. Chloe introduces him to her world and, as love blossoms between them, gives him a reason to want to live. When morning approaches, Elliot confesses the seriousness of his condition, and they must decide if the journey is worth taking together.

Romantic and sincere, Conrad Jackson?s thoughtful film depicts the bittersweet experience of falling in love when the future is uncertain. With subtle and multi-layered performances by Parker Croft and Emilia Zoryan, this tale of two complex individuals is not about illness. Falling Overnight is a celebration of life through honest human connection.
