As she dies of ovarian cancer, Karen (Lisa Franks) contemplates life on her deathbed with her husband Hal (David Ross Paterson) and pregnant daughter Ashley (Lauren Dobbins Webb) by her side.

Through a series of happy and tragic flashbacks, A Blue Uncertain Buzz crystallizes one woman’s last thoughts and wishes in a poignant short film that won the writer/director a best screenwriting award from the ZGI Shorts Film Festival in Sedona for her first film along with being named “Best Arizona Short Film” at the Prescott Film Festival in Prescott, AZ.

Inspired by the Emily Dickinson poem, ‘I heard a fly buzz,’ this contemporary exploration of a woman’s dying hours as she makes amends with her family is a meditation on what we truly value in life – and learning to forget the rest.
