Cheesy Mourning

Overview

Created as part of a 48-hour film challenge, this tender and lightly comedic short follows recently widowed Dad Eli as he navigates the chaos of a single morning with his spirited 11-year-old daughter, Naomi. What begins as a struggle over burnt grilled cheese turns into a quiet, heartfelt moment of connection, love, and resilience. Naomi’s wisdom, humor, and old-soul insight help her father navigate grief, reminding us that even in loss, love—and laughter—can still find a way. A story about family, imperfection, and the small moments that make life meaningful. "This film made as part of 48 Hours California and the Sacramento International Film Festival ©2025." #ShortFilm #48HourFilmChallenge #Family #Grief #ComedyDrama #FatherDaughter #Heartfelt #MinimalistFilm #BurntGrilledCheese #LoveAndLoss #EmotionalShort #CheesyMourning
