Special Screening
A Million Miles Away
By Jennifer Reeder
27:58 min | 2014 | USA

Contemporary relationship drama reaches its apotheosis to the beat of a 1980s heavy metal anthem. A woman (the conductor) is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and just like the teen girls (the choir) undergoes a transformation. Teacher and pupil roles are reversed when the woman can’t decipher her lover’s text message.
