GREECE: On a rainy afternoon in a British nursing home, a woman struggles to make a last connection with her seemingly catatonic Mother.

Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin to British parents, multi award winning writer/director/actor Sarah Deakins spent the first year of her life in Chicago until her parents decided to move to Canada. A graduate of the University of Victoria theater program, Ms. Deakins has extensive stage and screen credits; she has also written and produced several plays and films, taking the helm most recently as director of her newest piece, "Greece", produced by Brightlight Pictures. The first short film she penned and starred in, "Late", went to Cannes with Telefilm Canada as part of a successful festival run, and "Greece", is in the midst of a highly successful festival run, with over 20 official selections so far, and garnering over 20 awards and counting. Ms. Deakins makes her home in three main cities, splitting her time between LA, Toronto, and Vancouver, and is currently in development on her first feature film, “Home Free”.
