Dear Ma

About This Movie

So, 'Dear Ma' is this intriguing little drama that really captures the essence of a young girl's yearning for her mother. Shot entirely on an iPhone 6, it has this raw, almost intimate feel that’s hard to shake off. The pacing is reflective, which complements the letter-narration style; it just slowly pulls you in. You can really sense the struggles of distance learning through her eyes, and it's interesting how that universal theme of longing is explored. The fact that it was a tenth-grade project adds a layer of authenticity, making the performances feel genuine, albeit a bit rough around the edges. It's a distinctive piece for anyone who appreciates the DIY spirit in filmmaking.
