CALLOW

a short film.

Do you remember when the warm color of childhood started to fade? 

Callow will be a film that explores that moment and how to bring that color back into your life. It touches on the inherited pressures that can crush you while you’re trying to grow. It explores how to allow yourself time to have that growth and find your way out from underneath what can seem like an impossible weight, healing instead of being drained of your unique colors. 

Logline:

In a house full of chaos, a teenage girl struggles to balance her creative needs and the pressure to be a substitute mother for her siblings.

Summary:

Callow is a slice-of-life film that revives the often forgotten and complicated warmth of living on the cusp of childhood and adulthood.

 

Olivia is a teenage girl doing her best to fill the void left by a sick mother. Raising her three wild and younger siblings with the help of her brother, she struggles with being the daughter she feels she has to be. Resentment begins to overcome her as Olivia is weighed down by a painting she can’t seem to start, and the pressure to be present for a younger sister yearning to be seen.

 

But it’s through learning that she’s not alone in this effort that brings the color back into her life and her painting.

Mission:

Our world's in desperate need of intimacy and real vulnerability. And the first place to find that is in genuine relationships in our family. Callow explores how siblings in a difficult situation struggle to connect and highlights how to meet others where they're at and love unconditionally.
