00:05 My name is Malia, and I am the writer/director of a short called The Heart.
00:10 Here are some stills from the film, which will be screened with the US Fiction Short Films this year at Sundance.
00:17 This is an odd little story, somewhat of a fable, about a man grieving the death of his mother after she leaves him in unusual request in her will.
00:27 The film is about lost objects and lonely people, and forgiveness and regret,
00:34 but I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in these things.
00:42 The folks who came together to make this film have my heart, pun intended,
00:47 and I'm incredibly grateful to them for giving this story life,
00:51 and we are grateful to Sundance for giving us the opportunity to share it with you all.
00:57 We hope that you enjoy the film and that it makes you feel a bit less lonely,
01:03 or at least reminds you not to forget about the people who are.
