Expanded from an award-winning Sundance short, writer-director Walter Thompson-Hernández's If I Go Will They Miss Me is a beautiful story with cinematography that will take your breath away. At once a tender portrait of parenthood and childhood, the film reminds us that we always have some growing up to do, even as grown ups.
In the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, twelve-year-old Lil Ant sees the world and his father the way all children should — full of myth, wonder, and unwavering belief.
Reviews
"Repeatedly, the project seems to transcend the projects, defying gravity in its poetic depiction of how this resilient, supportive community comes together around Lil Ant, stepping in where his father stumbles to embrace the boy. In that sense, the film answers its own question." – Variety
