Earning the Day (2015)
Film by Jane Shepard (Comedy) Writer/Director/Producer Y'know how we all have those self-critical inner voices? Well, Edna has lots of them, only hers exist physically! So Edna is followed by a drill sergeant, a nutritionist, a question elf and a passel of negative negators. A whimsical comedy with a meaningful underbelly, looking at the nature of self-criticism and how we can step away from them.
