The Texture of falling

(FEATURE - 2018)

Written + Directed by Maria Allred

“The Texture of Falling isn't really a requiem for a romance. It's a declaration from the grown-up version of the 15-year-old who lived in the woods to solve the mystery of her own identity, who's now daring Portland directors to think bigger, grander and zanier” -Bennett campbell ferguson - willamette weeK

“I’m trying to summon an adjective or phrase that could sum up the brilliance of what The Texture of Falling really is. But I’m at a loss. This film, above all else, is unapologetically bold. But it’s so much more than that.” - Maggie Stancu - Fiction’s Mistress
