Holding On
HOLDING ON
Released in 2012. A moving short about a man’s struggle to hold on to the present as Alzheimer’s takes hold. Starring GORDON KENNEDY.
This short film has had international recognition in festivals. Some of the comments from The Thurrock International Film Festival include :
“Holding On ‘goes for it’. The limited framework of the ’15″ format doesn’t deter the filmmaker from going for subject density, beauty, empathy and affect. Admirable.”
(D. Ogden Stiers)
