The Gift

Shooting wraps on a short narrative film about "a step back in time when life was quiet and simple" which features an intergenerational story of a day spent with a six year old on the event of Grandma's 90th birthday.

This 12-minute short luxuriously explores the lost element of time spent with our elders, the meaning of connection and imagination in a era of electronics.
