Father(s)

This film features great video work for an independent, low budget (no budget?), short. The story, though narrowly directed in its purpose, is not preachy. It takes on the very personal matter of selfishness in one of its less obvious forms - self pity. The story demonstrates a lesson we all know - be thankful for what you have - but rarely abide by. Father(s) reminds us why we should be thankful.

My one criticism of the film is that the character development seems a bit hurried. I would prefer that it be done in subtler ways (so that I don't really notice it as it happens).

Overall, this is a good film and a worthy watch. I would recommend it to anyone, but I would imagine that parents especially will appreciate it.
