Plot:
Daisy Bea (Jency Griffin Hogan) spends her days as a high school librarian, stuck in a rut in both her personal and professional life. As her 40th birthday draws near, she starts to feel pressured to settle down and start a family.
When the art teacher at Daisy’s school abruptly quits mid-term, Daisy takes it upon herself to give West High School students the art program that they deserve. Through her adopted profession, she begins to question the true meaning of parenthood. Daisy, however, doesn’t fancy herself much of an artist. When she meets the local photographer Jack Palmer (Bryan Langlitz) at an exhibition, she ropes him into her plan and begins to see a new future for herself…
Reviews:
” …the movie feels like something made that the filmmakers think the audience would want rather than making something genuine. Between the addition of the quirky best friend, the love triangle and the attempts at conflict, it feels like the audience is being pulled in too many directions. This also unfortunately slows the pace of the movie right down to where a clean ninety minutes feels much longer than it should.” Battle Royale with Cheese
” …Days of Daisy is a little more resonant than its production value would let you believe. What it might lack in some of those areas, it makes up for in realism and heart. It avoids the typical ‘love triangle’ because that is never the point. Days of Daisy isn’t really about the love story, it’s not about saving the art program, these are all just plot points in a character piece that force Daisy to think about what her future looks like.” Live for Film
