Awards/Reviews:
A quiet meditation on love and commitment. Attractive actors, good acting and the simple story work well together

The Indianapolis Star
One standout [at the Pan African Film Festival] was Hanelle Culpepper’s The Wedding Dress. This short lends itself to simple dialogue held in small quarters with honest portrayals from the actors – Ben Rose, The Indy Outlook
Hanelle M. Culpepper’s tale of a slacker trying real hard to get it right is expertly structured and snappily dialogued. Anil Raman displays great comic range as he desperately tries to navigate around a slacker’s worst nightmares: responsibilty and commitment. Culpepper’s direction jumps around between images, space and time for maximum hilarity – Paul F.P. Pogue, Nuvo
