A short film directed by a Seattle/Kentucky/New York-based filmmaker, Steven Schardt. Scotty is an alcoholic and is appearing to lose any custody he might have remaining over his 20 month-old son when he decides to kidnap him and take him on an impromptu road trip. The story, which appears to have neither a definite beginning nor end, culminates in a roadside motel where Scotty meets and entertains a fellow alcoholic in the form of a lonesome woman. I am happy that this movie and the artists involved will get some exposure at SXSW as I personally know the filmmaker. At the screening at Northwest Film Forum, it was apparent that many of the other audience members were impacted positively by this short as its concepts of divorce, fatherhood, responsibility and/or alcoholism possibly touched home more for many others than for myself.
