Lean on Him (2015)
Excellent

This short film succeeds on almost every level - from the cast selections and acting to the plot development to the well-chosen and well-timed musical selections that reach the core of the viewers' emotions. Ms. Bowman takes a difficult and often ignored subject - dementia - and combines it with cast who are often ignored in cinematography - African Americans, Asian Americans, and the elderly - to create a moving and compelling drama. The only downfall is the film's length; it leaves viewers eager to know more about what happens to the girl and her mother. I can't wait to see more from this blossoming filmmaker!
