For 17 years, filmmaker Jay Rosenblatt filmed his daughter Ella on her birthday, in the same spot and asking the same questions. In a mere 29 minutes we watch a girl go from a toddler to a young woman with all the beautiful and sometimes awkward stages in between. Her responses to her father’s questions are just a backdrop for a deeper story of parental love, acceptance, and ultimately, independence.

The shortfilm will be screened before the film Summer Nights.
