A dedication to those who find Father’s Day especially painful, directors Vic Lentaigne and Emily McDonald reflect on the grief that lingers when a father is gone, and the love that remains, for short film Fathers.
Through the experiences and memories of musician Romy, actor and comedian Seapa aka Allan Mustafa, and DJ and producer Danny Rankin, Fathers captures the weight of loss in a deeply personal contemplation on grieving a parent. Gathering archive material, including unseen VHS tapes of Seapa as a baby, Fathers celebrates how each has been shaped by their fathers’ memory, and how they continue to honor them through who they have become as adults.
