How fast would you run to hide your affair?

Director Sergine Dumais’s award winning short “Wichita” shows what you do in the dark will eventually be brought to the light. Director Sergine Dumais brings a lighthearted approach to a very difficult and often traumatic life changing situation. In modern times relationships have changed in respect to what it is to be loyal and faithful to one another. Can a person have their cake and eat it too or is there a limit to what can and will be tolerated.

Sara (Maxim Roy) is in bed with her lover when her husband (Jeremy Sisto) calls. When he asks for something in his sock drawer, she runs home, stalling for time, asking endless questions about Wichita, Kansas.

Both Maxim Roy and Jeremy Sisto are masterful in their performances showing the the the most profound moments are those that are played in silence. Sara’s attempt at covering up her betrayal is almost comical until you realize the outrageous extent that she is willing to go to preserve the lie and in the end she has done nothing, but delayed the inevitable in a shocking turn of events.
