MIDDLEMARCH, written by George Eliot, is an iconic masterpiece of English literature. Set in the fictional English town of Middlemarch between 1829 and 1832, it's widely considered one of the greatest novels ever written in the English language.
​
Eliot's first chapter of MIDDLEMARCH is an evocative and heartfelt portrait of two very different sisters and their struggle to return to society after a year long period of mourning.
​
"'What do I think of 'Middlemarch'? What do I think of glory-- "
– Emily Dickinson
I wanted to create a world that feels suspended in time—like a Rembrandt painting, if Rembrandt had a slightly wicked sense of humor and a fondness for emotional chaos. This short was carved with love, from the tiniest glance to the biggest existential sigh.
