Fabulous movie

I saw this movie at the Palm Springs Short Film Festival last year. Not only was the movie well written and beautifully filmed, but all those involved with the movie were gracious and kind to the viewers. This movie did a wonderful job of teaching an important lesson without being heavy-handed or preachy. The relationship between father and sons is fascinating and very true to the problems that many families have between the generations. I look forward to seeing many more films from these film makers. I anticipate a feature film somewhere in their future, possibly with similar themes. I hope everyone has the opportunity to see this short film.
