Crafting Emotions

What People Are Saying

A Flicker is a drama written by Guy Newsham and directed by Brian DeToma in which a flickering streetlight brings two strangers (Michael Bud and Bill Warncke) together...Both actors fantastically balance topics such as mortality and longing in this heart-wrenching, yet uplifting, story
