A woman bends over backwards trying to be a good wife and mother. Her head is cut off from her heart. A doctor picks her brain. A boy inherits his mother's depression. SHORT OF BREATH is a haunting, emotional collage about birth, death, sex and suicide. It's like a punch in the stomach.

"SHORT OF BREATH is a Rorschach test with moving images instead of ink blots." - Vincent Canby, The New York Times

"A devastating little film." - Robin Wood, film critic/writer
