Just Say When
a short film by Tawnya Cazier



"Just Say When" is a short film made by Tawnya Cazier while a film student at Brigham Young University.

The film begins with a woman's voice over saying "I don't know how to tell him... I have to tell him... It's the only way."

The woman (Jjana Valentiner-Morrill) is seen shopping in a grocery store. Elsewhere, her husband (Matt Biedel) is in an office. As the woman drives home, she practices various ways to start the conversation she knows she must have. She is clearly very nervous about something.

Finally it becomes clear that she is planning to confess that she has been having an affair -- an affair that ended about three weeks ago. The end of her conversation with her husband is then seen.

"Who was it?" he asks.

"It doesn't matter..."

Then the film switches betweens scenes of her confessional conversation and his understandably angry response, and happy interactions between the couple afterwards (or perhaps before).

The husband, Scott, leaves the home after the conversation, his face showing anguish. Meanwhile, a phone call between the wife and a female friend (Yvonne Carpenter) is overheard.

"Just Say When" can currently be viewed online in QuickTime format.
