When Charlotte's mother Edith forces her to marry the catty and sarcastic Cecil, Charlotte time travels from the Victorian era into the modern time to be with her beloved pen pal, Zachary. Unfortunately, Charlotte's plan goes awry when Cecil follows her through the time portal. The rest of the film you’ve got to see.
I’ve seen so many short films playing off of Pride & Prejudice or Downton Abbey, but FIREFLIES IN THE DUSK disrupts the prim and proper flare the right way with comedy, both hilarious and dark.
Each character holds their own identity, which I love as it makes you beg for more to see FIREFLIES IN THE DUSK become a streaming series in my opinion. Which would be a great thing since television today lacks originality.
Thank you Jonathan and Martin for sharing your film with me today. I can’t wait to see what it does in this very busy film festival season.
