    A Similar But Different Take On A Feature Film Debut

    Friday, February 21, 2025

    Similar But Different is not only the moniker for the directorial duo of Dani Girdwood and Charlotte Fassler but also in some respects an apt description of their feature filmmaking debut, My Fault: London (Amazon MGM Studios).
