Can a person ever truly overcome losing someone they love? A lovely short film to watch this week. In Full Bloom is a 10-minute short made by up-and-coming filmmaker Maegan Houang, now available to watch online. The short stars legendary Vietnamese-American actress Kiều Chinh (from "M*A*S*H") and tells the story of Cecile, an elderly hoarder whose life is upended when worms trigger a black hole in her home and threaten to take her most cherished belongings. This is an impressive little short without any dialogue and striking visuals. "The film explores coping after the death of a partner, which often leads to unresolved trauma and severe mental illness. Houang’s perceptive approach sheds light on the unique circumstances that affect Vietnamese Americans, particularly older individuals within the community." I'm amused by the stop-motion animated worms, and the abundance of plants she is growing at home. Give this short a watch. ›››
