This is "the one that got away". This was my favourite thing I ever wrote and I was lucky enough to be one of the few short films in my class to be produced. then COVID happened and production was a full stop.. I still hope to make this one day
This was only a test movie poster... obviously I didn't have Michael Fassbender as one of the leads.
Synopsis
Adam, an average teenage boy, desires his father’s approval and affection. He strives every day to impress his father but never can succeed. With all this neglect from his dad, Adam is driven into a deep hole of sadness and constantly asking himself the question “Why?”. Adam grabs a breath of fresh air when he finally receives his college acceptance letters. Upon telling his parents about the acceptance, Adam’s mother is proud but the same cannot be said from his father. Adam decides to put it all behind him and start a fresh new life at college. And more importantly, away from his father. That is until his father bursts from his workaholic shell and has a long-awaited intimate moment with his son on his final goodbye.
