CGiii Comment

Not an easy thing to do, a period drama on a budget. Megan Lyons pulls it off rather well.

A little problem with the whole duty versus happiness conundrum - arguably, there was no such conundrum - for young ladies - in those days!

Still, a valiant effort.

The(ir) Blurb...

Until Today is a 15-minute regency short film centred around the themes of young love, family and duty, and female agency. With no male heir to inherit the family estate when her father dies, it is up to Georgiana to continue the Arrenby's legacy through an auspicious marriage. However, there is just one problem - Georgiana is in love with her lifelong friend Abigail. In a time when two women could never freely declare their love for one another, she must decide whether to submit to the expectations of society, or abandon the life she has always known and embrace a humble but authentic existence with the woman she loves.
