Second Words

I had the pleasure of seeing Second Words at the LA Shorts Fest. It is a beautiful meditation on life and family. The director masterfully paces the film which creates the perfect atmosphere to compliment the tone of the story. John Beasley portrays a man who is coping with the passing of his wife. While pensive, he never overplays his character; opting for a subdued performance that peaks at all the right times. The film is sprinkled with beautiful shots of the surrounding farm-scape that wrap up the story in a neat little bow. The heartfelt story, along with the uplifting ending make this a great film that anyone should be able to enjoy.
