                        At the first screening, the first film by Chapel Hill filmmaker, Brett James comes off as confusing
 
                as a David Lynch film.  It's only after watching EVER for the second time do you begin to realize the
 
                symbolism that James' has captured while telling the story of a woman caught within herself.
 

                               EVER, follows the few days in the life of Elizabeth Loeb (actress Coco Palmer) who is unknowingly

cutting herself off from the world and the people she loves.  The story unfolds quickly, backed by a disturbing

sound track of a phonograph in the fun-out groove, continuously playing in the background.  James' method of

filmmaking with his brillant use of the stationary camera and semingly every day coverage converge into a

beautiful montage that drives the main focus of the story home.  We watch from the voyeurs point of view as

Elizabeth makes decisions, that we all know will result in her downfall in the end.  During the entire film, you

want to scream at her to stop and think about what she is doing.

                         The question the film forces you to think about is simple.  When you say you want to be alone, is

that  what you really want???  Does anyone know what it truly is to be "alone"???  EVER brings you all of this

and more.
