"Play Date" is an independent short film currently traveling through the Film Festival circuit, Debuting at the Dallas Film Festival next week. I was able to interview Amberlee Colson & Laura Campbell, The Directors and Stars of this project. The film is an amazing look into the trauma and coping of 2 women a year after their daughters experienced a school shooting. One of the children survived, the other did not. The portrayal of 10 minutes spent between these two shows a great understanding of trauma, PTSD, and realistic ways we cope with traumatic loss.
