Before Anything You Say is a 2017 Canadian experimental domestic drama film directed and produced by Shelagh Carter and written by Deborah Schnitzer about a couple struggling to maintain their love and marriage even as a life-altering decision threatens to tear them apart.[2][1][3] Carter's second independent feature film is partly autobiographical,[4] its "impulse" based on an event in Carter's own life and another experience in Schnitzer's.[5] The film toured mainly in Europe, at Film Festival International-organized events in 2017 and 2018,[6] winning a handful of awards ahead of its Canadian premiere at the Gimli Film Festival in 2018, where Shelagh Carter was presented with an award by the Directors Guild of Canada.[3]
