"If Tears Were Gold" is an upcoming musical family drama short film based on my experiences caring for my Nana towards the end of her life. She suffered from dementia and sundowners syndrome that caused auditory hallucinations, and she often thought it was my band playing music.
While fiction, "If Tears Were Gold" is largely based on real events. It also features a song of the same name that Nana and I co-wrote together leading up to her 90th birthday. She was so proud of that song! And I'm very proud to pay tribute to her and our musical collaboration with this short film.
SYNOPSIS: A young punk musician returns home to rural Washington State to help care for their aging Nana Sally who is troubled by music no one else can hear. As Sally's dementia deepens, a new song materializes uniting the family with a very unexpected and unlikely collaboration.
