The Last Time Your Name Is Spoken

A SHORT FILM BY AMANDA MATTHEWS

Short description:

To help ease her suffering, the primordial goddess, Gaia, embodies a rural, middle-aged artist, forging determination to break the cycle of bondage hemmed into their very existence.

In a collision of two mighty forces,  The Last Time Your Name is Spoken reveals a dark and lyrical story of abuse, survival, and redemption that encourages eradication of oppression in all of its forms.
