Working with producing partner Tony Rogers to assemble a brilliant crew, including cinematographer Liam Gilmour, Sarah cast the marvelous Marg Downey as the unsuspecting midwife caught up in a home birth gone wrong. Dana Miltins gave a horrifyingly realistic performance delivering up comedic gold with the hapless father-to-be Glenn Maynard. Watch the full 7 minute short film below.
