YOUR RATING
Letting Go (2011)
LETTING GO is a short film about a tough-minded girl who goes through different stages of grief after the death of someone very close and important to her until she discovers it is OK to go on as the land around will goes on. I chose to make "Letting Go" look like an "old" film which meant it had to be about a time period from long ago. (At least long ago to me, a 13-year-old!) The journey the girl had to travel and the fact that she didn't have any help (no therapists!)...well, something had to impact her. The greatest impact on the girl's "recovery" is her environment. The many landscape shots and the use of animals and even bugs pointed to the idea of "life going on", which was a message the girl needed to hear...over and over again. The only thing else the viewer needs is the very purpose of "Letting Go" in the first place, which is the character going through the grief process. How the girls responds to what is left after the old man dies will determine everything for her. Hopefully the audience will get that from the long trailer.
