Miracle Baby is a psychological thriller about a congressman’s wife who discovers that her husband has been cheating on her.

Miracle Baby

"Some loves are too special to ruin with a relationship." A vagabond actor traveling through a strange city collides with his long-lost love-- an illegal immigrant and cleaning lady he met back home in Hungary 25 years ago. "One Night Only" is a meaningful, socially relevant film, shot in New York City. With a Hungarian/Canadian cast and crew and a female director and DP, it truly defies borders and breaks the boundaries of traditional filmmaking. "I loved the film. It’s raw and tender, lovely acting, beautifully paced. Simple. In tone some of it reminded me of Herzog’s amazing Stroszek." -Luke Davies, Oscar-nominated screenwriter (Lion, Beautiful Boy)

One Night Only

Logline In the late 1930s, a boarding school bully schemes and dreams her way from the gloom of England to the promises of colonial India. Synopsis England, 1939. Grace, a manipulative schoolgirl, spends her days sneaking out to the cinema and writing plaintive letters to her parents in a bid to join them in India. When her ploy works only in part, she finds herself marooned in their colonial villa, with just her ayah, Raissa, and a strange British cook for company. Beset by the unfamiliarity of these new surroundings, and haunted by her own fantasies about them, Grace begins to act out against her reality with increasing hostility and violence.
