“...a real gem. Painfully funny, exquisitely acted, acutely observed. So nuanced and utterly true.” –Doug Wright (Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning writer of Quills and Grey Gardens)
“Conceived and visualized with a minimalism and naturalism rarely evident in short films these days, After You Left is an honest portrayal of the uncharted waters of life after the end of a relationship.”
–Andrew Meyer (Producer: The Breakfast Club, Fried Green Tomatoes)

SYNOPSIS
A man in his mid-thirties searches for meaning in the aftermath of a relationship.
A largely improvised drama created in the shadow of the events on which it is based, After You Left embraces the fine line between art and life––between the story being told and the lives of those telling it. The result is a realistic and intimate portrait of love and loss, as well as a uniquely personal reflection of the moment in which it was made.
