"This is a brilliant short piece from Toronto..."
Jason Whyte of EFILMCRITIC.COM
Imagine if the quirky girl you fell in love with over 10 years ago went on to become one of the biggest movie stars in the world...
For the past decade, Sam has tried to move on with his life. But when he sees his ex-girlfriend Daizy Taylor on every billboard, magazine cover and TV-talk show, forgetting her is easier said than done.
Commentary: ON is about Sam, a man reminiscing about the former loves of his life. But what haunts Sam the most is that his first true love, Daizy Taylor (before fame she spelled her name with an "s" not a "z"), is now one of the world's most famous movie stars. By using DVD influenced flashback sequences (the likes of which have never seen before in conventional film) Sam remembers the good times and the bad, while trying to make sense of what went wrong with Daizy.
For Sam, sometimes it's harder to remember who Daizy was instead of who she became. He wonders if fame has changed her or if she is the same girl he fell in love with so many years ago. Now is the chance to find out.
Sam's journey wraps up with an explosive ending you (and Sam) won't soon forget...
