En
Suite
A short film directed by Geoffrey Cantor.
"En Suite," which follows a couple over the course of one relationship-defining year as they navigate life following her radical double mastectomy and reconstruction. From the everyday events to the most significant moments, the film explores what can happen to a couple at its best and worst.
After co-writer and lead actress, Lainie Ventura's year battling breast cancer, this labor of love became paramount for us. Making this film allowed us to create a beautiful story and help Lainie and other breast cancer survivors emotionally close the book on this chapter in life.
