Bittersweet Ache

Here's some feedback from Mary Brennan of The Herald after she wached Deborah Pearson's Like You Were Before. Hopefully it will give you a bit more of an incite into this lovely show:

"Deborah Pearson’s Like You Were Before is about her own past – it features a video of her last day before leaving Canada for the UK – but the footage of her friends, her voicing-over her previous words, as if trying to re-enter the frame, her asides about the background to people and places, all have a tremendously moving universality. The camaraderie, the farewells; the bright-eyed, youthful faces: Pearson’s camera catches it, holds it. We all share the bittersweet ache that stirs with recollections of moments we’ll never have again."
