-------------------------------
Written and directed by Ben Ratner and produced by James Brown, Down River is a feature film starring Helen Shaver, Gabrielle Miller, Jennifer Spence and Colleen Rennison.
Down River is the emotionally stirring story of three young women teetering on the edge between creative breakthroughs and personal breakdowns, and their connection with the older woman they rely on for guidance, support and inspiration.
Inspired by Ben Ratner's long-time comradeship with actress Babz Chula who passed away in 2010, Down River is a film about mentorship, friendship, living life to the fullest, and ultimately letting go.
