Shifted

Music and Lyrics by James Court

Starting a family, quitting a job, breaking up - life is punctuated by transitional moments. They can bring a challenge, present an opportunity, and hopefully make us stronger. Some are decisions, some are gambles, and some…well, some are just plain out of our control!

Directed by Declan Dowling
