Short Film Reviews: "A" Movies
A Prayer: Starting this list is the quiet and sorrowful A Prayer, which sees Angie (Masey McLain) and her estranged father Mike (Wade Hunt Williams) reunite in the wake of her mother's death. Will Mike make amends to his daughter--and will Angie be able to forgive the father who abandoned her? While it obviously comes with religious themes, A Prayer never feels preachy. As such, a viewer of any faith can watch the film and appreciate its messages about love, forgiveness, and redemption. Masey McLain and Wade Hunt Williams give emotional performances as a heartbroken daughter and a regretful father trying to rebuild the bridge he burned. Once the circumstances of the tragedy are revealed, you'll understand why Angie wants nothing to do with her father. But seeing Mike's deep remorse will make you want to see father and daughter mend their bond and deal with their loss together.

Short Film Reviews: "Wonder Ship"
Winslow Takes the Cake: I certainly picked a bizarre flick to open up this list. It starts innocently enough, with a young girl named Winslow (Taylor Blackwell) visiting her neighbor Abby (Marjorie O'Neill-Butler) to tell her the box she gave her to play with doesn't work. It's during their conversation that things take a weird turn. While identified as a dramedy on IMDb, Winslow Takes the Cake leans a lot more into the drama half of its genre as the encounter between Winslow and Abby gets surprisingly intense. Topics like divorce, religion, and using imagination to get through hard times are mentioned. So don't be fooled by the title and synopsis into thinking you're about to watch a lighthearted kidcom with a fluid narrative.
