They say a picture is worth A Thousand Words. In Phil Johnston's short drama, a man is forced to confront his troubled childhood when he receives notice that his estranged father has died. At the wake, he discovers that not everything he thought about his childhood - or the present - is true. Stylish cinematography and a dark sense of humor make this dramatic short a unique viewing experience.
