Lifetime Review: 'Who Kidnapped My Mom?'
Synopsis: The Jones family has had a rough couple of years. First, there was the death of patriarch Ryan. Then, his wife Eva (Lucie Guest) disappeared one night before being found outside her house by her daughter Sami (Jordan Zavisha) the next day. The police never believed Eva's claims that she was kidnapped from her driveway and neither did Nancy (Linda Grass), Ryan's mother who is at odds with Eva due to not believing her son's death was the result of a simple heart attack. A year later, things are still tense within the Jones household, with Eva still grappling with her trauma and her estrangement with Nancy. Her announcement that she's received a job in New York City only leads to a disastrous family dinner, with Eva vanishing from her bedroom that same night. Sami is certain Eva's past kidnapper has struck again, but with neither the police nor her grandmother taking the situation seriously, it's up to her to uncover the truth before it's too late to save her mother.

Short Film Reviews: Fathers
Father by Law: A complicated father is the first kind of father to be explored in this list. Arriving an hour late for her wedding, Dale (William Russ) is upset to learn that his daughter Liz (Annie Clark) would rather do the father-daughter dance with her stepfather Steve (Andrew Hamrick). Will Dale be able to put aside his issues and reconcile with Liz? Or is it too late to repair the damage? Father by Law is a slow-boiled, straightforward family drama anchored by a strong cast playing strong characters. William Russ and Annie Clark lead the pack as a loving but problematic father and his conflicted daughter. Clark makes it easy to sympathize with Liz as her father's arrival puts a damper on her special day. Russ, meanwhile, seamlessly alternates between making Dale pitiable and making him as infuriating to the viewer as he is to Liz and her mother.

Short Film Reviews: Christmas in July
The Christmas Gift: First up, we have a simple short film about the power of kindness. The holiday season is a rough one for Larry (Philip Schwadron), an unemployed divorcee struggling to find a job and buy a Christmas present for the daughter he barely gets to see anymore. But Larry's fortune is about to take a turn for the better. An interesting detail about The Christmas Gift is that its protagonist celebrates Hannukah rather than the titular holiday. While Larry's differing faith from the other characters is alluded to on a few occasions, it never overwhelms the plot and no one treats him differently because of it. Instead, The Christmas Gift is your average feel-good film about a down-on-his-luck man learning that compassion has a way of coming back to you sometimes.
