Overview
A role that stayed with everyone who saw it
June records a message for a space probe and ends up recording the truth about her own family instead. This eighteen-minute short is carried almost entirely by Adriana’s voice and face — often in a single unbroken take.
Festival juries praised its restraint, and the film earned a jury mention at Harbor Shorts alongside a best-actress nomination for Adriana.
The role
“June speaks to the stars because the people around her stopped listening. I barely blinked for eighteen minutes.”
Adriana rehearsed alone with the radio-prop for a week, recording nightly voice memos until June’s cadence felt involuntary. The director kept the camera rolling between setups — half the film comes from those unguarded minutes.
