Forgiving Charity

Charity stares at herself in the rear-view mirror of her seaside parked car. Through a series of memories surrounding her girlfriend, "Day", viewers are drawn-into the whirlwind of their relationship, from start to finish. Time passes with great speed; the women meet, fall in love, and pursue a committed, loving relationship. This relationship is then uprooted by an apparent unnamed medical diagnosis. These aforementioned memories are coupled with a conversation between the women; a conversation which addresses Charity's relapsed substance abuse addictions, infidelity, and thoughts of suicide. Charity is in desperate need of being forgiven; it is only after Day forgives her - that the true, underlying nature of this conversation between the women is revealed.

Directed by Jamin Scotti, Forgiving Charity leans on a strong ensemble — Shayne Eastin, Skye LaFontaine, Caiti Wiggins — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2023.
