SJ van Breda is celebrated for her cinematic documentaries about South African artists. “The One Year Anniversary” is a departure. In this four-minute drama set in the COVID era,  a young healthcare worker devises a surprising way to safely hug her mother. This bitter-sweet film—rich in powerful closeups— was shot vertically using a Xiaomi Mi 11 with Filmic Pro and a DJI Mini 2.  

The editors of MobileMovieMaking have chose “The One Year Anniversary” as the Mobile Movie of the Week.
