Sometimes, someone hurts you so bad that it stops hurting at all. Until something makes you feel again and then it all comes back.
Winner of numerous short film awards, “ReMoved” follows an incredibly immersive story through the mind and eyes of a young girl taken from her abusive household and put into foster care, followed by her heartbreaking journey through multiple prospective foster parents. Every year in the U.S., 640,000 children spend time in foster care.
I hope you have some tissues nearby, because this short film by Nathanael Matanick, known better as “Heschle,” makes the term “tear-jerker” seem innocent. Having amassed well over a quarter of a million views on Vimeo and YouTube, ReMoved aims to bring awareness to the importance of foster care programs and the desperate need for quality foster parents.
Originally created for and submitted to the 168 Film Festival, ReMoved won Best Film and Audience Choice there, while also being honored as the Best Film at the Enfoque Film Festival and “officially selected” at the Santa Barbara Independent Film Festival.
