'Mother, I Am' follows a solitary pensioner whose tranquil life is upended when her estranged daughter returns after 20 years, now pregnant. I produced this short film in collaboration with Director Mark Edel-Hunt, exploring themes of regret, strained relationships, and the complexities of impending motherhood.
