Rachel Chelsea Foster is a filmmaker, originally from southeast Pennsylvania, currently located in Bel Air, Maryland. She has spent the last decade working all across the country, primarily in the independent film market, giving her a lot of hands-on experience. Starting her career as an actress and writer, Rachel had the opportunity to co-direct a few improv shorts and a 48 hour project, which emboldened her to make her directorial debut with ‘Sip’. She spent the past year working with an incredible team to make a very personal film she is proud to share. In all things, she hopes to bring emotional meaning to audiences, glory to God and pieces of her own heart to the screen
Too often, we feel the need to hide our struggles. After suffering a traumatic miscarriage and a life threatening delivery only a year later, I found myself deep in post-partum depression, but no one knew. My faith and family helped get me through my experiences, but I still felt very alone during that time. This film does not offer any solutions, but instead shines a light on an issue too often kept in the dark. To those suffering in silence: I see you, you are not alone, this film is for you.
