Vancouver-based producer/director Carl Laudan debuts his first Telefilm supported HD feature "Sheltered Life":
"...In the intense intimacy of a women’s shelter, privileged 16-year-old 'Josephine Nash' and her mother 'Candice' come to terms with the unspoken rules that govern their relationship.
When Jo's father 'David' forces his way in to take his wife and daughter home, both women watch in horror as the women of the shelter choke him to death.
