The Beginning and The End

Catch Megan in a new short film:

The Beginning and The End
written and directed by Kristin Wheeler

Life is made up of defining moments and The Beginning and the End follows a magically-normal couple through theirs. We watch Jane and Mark as they tumble happily into – and painfully out of – intoxicating love. Through the cleverly-interwoven openings and closings of dates, we see first impressions, slammed doors, a gentle first kiss, fits of giggles, building tension… and an ultimate turning point. Funny, romantic and poignant, The Beginning and the End is a film for anyone who has ever known the joy and heartbreak of love.
