Open Your Eyes is a 2008 short film written and directed by Susan Cohen.[1]

Synopsis

Struggling to come to terms with her life and husband (Eric Lange) after breast cancer, Julia (Traci Dinwiddie) gets more than she bargained for when she attends a bridal shower and finds herself locked in a bathroom with Kat (Suzy Nakamura) - the frank-talking sister of the bride-to-be (Teresa Huang). OPEN YOUR EYES is a poignant and humorous look at our complex relationship with breasts, each other and what it really means to be whole.
