BREAK A LEG ROSIE
“Tara Hungerford, who scripted the stunning short Mon amour, mon parapluie (2001), is back at The Vancouver International Film Festival with her directorial debut, Break a Leg, Rosie. It’s an entertaining, beautifully shot slice of whimsy, about a waitress (played by Hungerford’s childhood friend Carly Pope) who’s irrepressible enough to recall Breakfast at Tiffany’s Holly Golightly.”
–David Spaner, The Province

“Tara Hungerford…unveiled a tidy bit of work…it was the music video she directed (and Paul Armstrong produced) for singer-guitarist Jim Byrnes’ rendition of ‘Just a Pilgrim’.”
–Malcolm Parry, The Vancouver Sun

–Barry Link, The Vancouver Courier

DILAPIDATED BEAUTY
“The video directed by Tara Hungerford, provides an appropriately rustic setting for the groups self-described "acoustic-based roots music."...It's a simple, heartfelt video from a journeyman band that practically invites you to just sit back with your beverage of choice and savour the moment.”
