About This Movie

Here and Now is a tender exploration of ambition and relationships, set against the backdrop of Ottawa's theater scene. Ellen's pursuit of acting is woven intricately with her friendship with Sophie, who harbors her own deep-seated emotions. The film's pacing allows for moments of quiet reflection, giving the audience time to absorb the nuances in performances. The two leads deliver a raw authenticity, making you feel the weight of their dreams and secrets. The atmosphere is intimate, almost palpable, drawing you into their world. It's not just about acting; it's about the complexity of friendships and dreams deferred. There's a real sense of vulnerability here that gives it a distinctive edge.

Here and Now is somewhat elusive in terms of availability; it hasn't seen a wide release, making it a rarity among drama aficionados. The film’s limited screenings and absence from major streaming platforms have piqued collector interest. Formats are scarce, and finding a physical copy can be quite the endeavor, often leading to discussions among collectors about its artistic merits and the performances that linger long after viewing. It’s a film that quietly resonates, leaving a mark on those fortunate enough to discover it.
