.Dear Mom.

My film shows a teen girl struggling with the idea of sharing how much she loves her step-mother. She’s not afraid to tell her, but afraid of the response she would get back, what if this person she sees as her mother cannot think or say the same for this child she had adopted into her life? Instead of speaking with words, she writes what she feels. The weight of unspoken words affects their self-identity and whether they should even send this letter. This story highlights the challenges of being honest with the ones you love, inviting the audience to reflect on their own struggles with true communication.
