"SHOOK, directed by Melanie RW Oram, was excellent as well. From the script and acting to the production and editing work, this story about a woman whose husband is having an affair with another man had the feel of a Hollywood feature film. Nearly flawless. Melanie mentioned in the Q&A that she is actually working on a deal to make a feature film based on the story -- I hope she gets it. It's a touching story rarely told with such a real-life portrayal."
