Stone's Throw, A

A FILM BY Camelia Frieberg

Adroitly crafted and well observed, the film shows a nascent talent behind the lens... Visually Frieberg demonstrates a fluid, unfussy style. Heat emanates from the screen...and the quality of intimacy she develops among the cast allows the camera to get up close and personal without forcing the point.
- Len Klady, Screen International
Beautiful cinematography and a fine ensemble cast
- Jennie Punter, Globe & Mail
One of the 10 must-see films at the Atlantic Film Festival 2006.
- Tara Thorne, The Coast
... profoundly significant and gripping film...
- Thom Ernst, Festival Daily

Synopsis

Set in the achingly beautiful world of rural Nova Scotia, A Stone’s Throw follows the journey of photojournalist Jack Walker, who arrives unannounced in the remote seaside town where his sister, Olivia lives a carefully constructed and insulated life with her two children. Jack, charming but guarded, is reticent about both the reason for his visit and the secrets of his recent past.
