A loving, strong-willed and deeply opinionated mother, a daughter brimming with cultural change, and a love interest who pushes for love over fear. Parev Mama (Hello Mother) is the story of three strong women intertwined, linked by their yearnings of love, fears, and courage, ultimately coming together in a future defining moment. Parev Mama (Hello Mother) follows a first-generation Armenian American Lesbian 30 year old woman, Natalie living in Los Angeles as she is faced with the repercussions of her traditional Armenian mother when coming home late after a night out with her girlfriend, Rita. The lead is on a journey of truth, coming to terms with being honest with her mother about her sexuality, and living her life for herself outside the constraints of her culture's expectations. The short film explores the challenges of what it is like being caught between the traditions of an Armenian family that thinks marrying a man is the objective, and living one's truth as a queer woman.

Helen Kalognomos, Natalie Shirinian, and Elizabeth Baudouin in Hello Mother (2020)
