Terrance needs to convince his fiancé, family and friends he does not have a drinking problem. But can he convince himself?

Review by Andie Karvelis:

In this short film we get to meet Terrance. Terrance has a lovely fiancee, nice friends and family who care about him and one big problem. A problem that everyone else can see except Terrance. Addiction. 18.7 million people suffer from alcohol addiction or alcohol use disorder. I’m not certain which is the politically correct term so I wanted to let you decide. Now, I know what you’re thinking ‘Oh, not another heavy, depressing film about the dangers of substance abuse’. Nope, this is not that film. Don’t get me wrong, substance abuse is a serious matter but this film handles it in such a way where you still take it seriously but have some lighthearted moments.

Written by Josh James, who also plays Terrance – this dramedy is part love story, part comedy and part cautionary tale. All without hitting you over the head with the message. I love and appreciate that. There is a nice on screen chemistry between Josh and Elizabeth Renyolds who portrays Terrance’s fiancee, Elsie. They both had some wonderfully funny as well as endearing moments.

Producer/Director Eric A. Eisenstein did a wonderful job finding that balance between humor and seriousness with the actors. Director of Photography Anh Nguyen did some amazing work making each shot look beautiful. The lighting and camera angles were just perfect and it had a very intimate feel without being invasive. I also need to commend everyone on the musical choices throughout the film, it fit the sections perfectly and let you know the more lighthearted segments. All in all, Blueberries leaves you with a great moral to the story and a yearning to receive a wedding invite from Terrance and Elsie.
