Magic Hour – Harriet, played by Miriam Shor, a once-promising filmmaker, is stuck in the suburbs of New Jersey. Alienated from her cheating husband and spurned by her teenage daughter, she secretly enrolls in film school. She leads a double life and loves the grueling yet exhilarating world of filmmaking. But, when she gets fired from her own film and found out by her daughter, Harriet must decide if her life’s ambition is pure folly or a dream worth saving.
