Maybe Another Story About New Yorkers Isn't So Drab Hannah Pearl Utt as Rachel Gurner and Jen Tullock as Jackie Gurner Living in New York City is hard. Being the lesbian daughter of a pretentious theater actor whom you live with above a theater along with your childish older sister and her kid is even harder. *exhale* Finding out your dead mother is not only alive but is also a famous actress on a soap opera filmed a couple blocks away is the type of story that deserves some screen time! Director, writer, and actress Hannah Pearl Utt as Rachel Gurner crafts a very captivating family dynamic with Before You Know It that checks all the boxes of a critically acclaimed indie film. It’s savvy, but quirky. Endearing in all its most pleasurable moments here stands a film that simply wishes to tell us a story.
There is Chemistry in the Casting Co-written by Jen Tullock who also plays Jackie Gurner, the story here is nothing without the life it is given through it’s casting. Judith Light
