You know that feeling when you realize that everyone you know is going to die and so nothing you do will ever be of consequence in comparison to the movements of the universe and then you accidentally fall in love with your best friend? Yeah, me neither. A VAFF Best Canadian Short Award nominee.

Director's Bio

Linnea Ritland—full time student in UBC Film Production, part time lover
of bread—once saw some comedy and was like, “wow, that brought me so much joy! Maybe I’ll
try writing some.” And that is when joy became suffering. But she hopes it has transcended back
to joy when you see Violet and June! More at linnearitland.wordpress.com.
