When Autumn Comes (2021)When Autumn Comes is a slow surreal drama that follows a young woman whose perception of the world is changed when she is betrayed by her closest friend. It is directed by Christopher Jacobs and stars Julia Saubier, Peter Jeffries, Katt Roberts, Naomi Pfyl, and Daniel Davids. The film was shot in 18 days over summer when COVID rates were at an all time low with an amazing cast, a talented crew and a shoestring budget. Things were tough, but I hope the final product makes it all worth while! Ab
