HUNKER DOWN
Written by Robert F. Benjamin
Directed by Duchess Dale
With Howard Raik, Carolyn Wickwire
A spunky older woman clashes and banters with a crusty, whimsical curmudgeon. They experience isolation in May 2020 and then a year later, grapple with their changed reality and the need for engagement. Can social distancing spawn an unlikely, lasting friendship? Or more?

Congratulations to all!! ”
