Missing a Note

Beth Moran delivers a beautiful, emotional, and delicate short film, exploring the reality of living with the early stages of dementia, featuring Darcy Jacobs, Elaine Paige and Ian McElhinney. Beth's debut short film is a 15 minute rollercoaster of emotion.

With stellar performances from both Elaine Paige and Ian McElhinney, the surprising highlight of the film is the young 12 year old actress, Darcy Jacobs (deserved winner of Best Actress at Birmingham International Film Festival 2019 for her part in this movie).

Known for her West End roles in the The Ferryman and Les Miserables, Darcy delivers a stunning performance as a young music pupil hoping to fulfill her dreams of a scholarship. With her beautiful singing voice and the incredibly natural feel she gives to her presentation of the character, she truly shines in this wonderful short film! I'm confident that we can expect great things from this young actress in her future career.

Well worth a watch 10/10!

This beautiful film took my breath away and will stay with me forever. It focuses on the heart breaking impacts of dementia but at the same time is uplifting thanks to a great performance by young Darcy. The director, Beth Moran, did an outstanding job and I could watch it over and over again.

Beth Moran's expertly written and directed film packs an aeon of impact into 15 minutes of cinematic magic. The cast, including the magnificent Darcy Jacobs, are utterly faultless.

A moving short film which shines a light on many peoples reality; facing the onset of dementia. Seen through the eyes of a young girl the viewer experiences a new perspective. Highly recommend.

Watched this short film as it was played before Downton Abbey. Really superb story and the cast were fantastic. Really moving and I enjoyed it very much. Definitely recommend.
