Filmmakers' note
Ken and Anthony first thought of the concept for this film while attending Slamdance Film Festival in early 2025. They shared a sentiment for their love of 16mm film and rich sound design. This was the inspiration that motivated Ken to write a heartfelt script about longing for memories never made. With the help of family members from both sides, the filmmakers crafted a short and personal film. Ken and Anthony hope that audiences are able to catch a reflection of their own loss.
