A powerful drama in less than 10 minutes you bet. Inspired by actual events, writer/director Vernon Mortensen wrote this screenplay for his wife, Kelly, after watching her suffer through the sudden death of her father, just a month after the two were married. The film's producer, Neil Trusso, read the screenplay and knew that this was something special. Less than a month after the final draft was finished, they were all on location in beautiful Descanso, California, bringing this bittersweet short film to life.
that was sweet and sentimental

Extremely touching. I've noticed that both films, The Brothers & The Picnic focus on the theme of love. This film reminds me of my past relationship with my daughter. A relationship that has been strained due to my divorce from her mother. Just as the young lady in the film, I hope my daughter will come to realize how much we meant to one another. I would hate to have to die before she realizes this.
