"For a piece less than a half-hour in length, the movie packs a powerful, emotional punch."
— Sounds Like Nashville, “Phil Vassar Tackles Serious Role in Thought Provoking Film”

Director/Co-producer Ashley Wren Collins was interviewed about the making of i only miss you when i’m breathing for We Are Moving Stories.

“A raw look at unbelievable circumstance and insurmountable grief…It is hard to imagine the pain a parent goes through after losing their child…Yet, Ashley Wren Collins captures this experience in her 17-minute short film, i only miss you when i’m breathing…The performances of Fischer and Vassar are earnest, raw, and unfiltered, providing viewers with a heartbreaking and accurate portrayal of what it feels like to experience the unthinkable.”
