A Wall Away
Synopsis
Alex (Cooper Tomlinson “Obsession”) lives in an apartment next to Zoe (Kaikane “A Boyfriend to Die For”). The wall separating their apartments is so thin that Alex and Zoe hear each other’s conversations. This causes a feud but, gradually, they see their infuriating neighbor has a different side.

Reviews
"The first full-length feature film to be entirely directed remotely.” -- Alex Ritman, The Hollywood Reporter
“A Wall Away is a welcome light-hearted film that shows that we might feel alone but we are alone together.” -- Rebecca Barksby, TheLancet.com
“The cast and crew consist of a microcosm and complexion of the faces that is America.” -- Elspeth Tavares, The Business of Film
“Tells a gentle story, set during a perplexing time, that mixes the allure of love. We can all find a place in this story and in the apartment building filled with people forced to come together.” -- KearneyHub.com
Production note: The entire film was directed remotely using the videoconferencing technology. Camera feeds were relayed to the director via a Google Meet connection while communication with the cast and crew was done via FaceTime.
