The Absence is Always Present
@absence.movie
A deeply personal feature film about stillbirth and its aftermath. Written & directed by @jasoncharnick.com (Getting Over, SXSW 2018). Coming 2025.
And now a word from our writer/director @charnick.online
Working on this next draft has been excruciating but extremely therapeutic. That being said I need to finish this shit soon because this rollercoaster has been wild. Never thought I’d look forward to getting back to producing.

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs.

Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this?
