San Francisco
BROTHERS is a 5-minute dramatic short film set in a San Francisco park during golden hour. Two middle-aged brothers meet on a pair of old garden chairs — the same spot their parents used to bring them as kids. The younger brother, Ken, has news that will reshape their family and their relationship: their father is retiring, and he's chosen Ken to take over the family business. As the conversation unfolds, long-buried feelings surface — about favoritism, loyalty, and what it costs to love someone who doesn't see you equally. A quiet, performance-driven piece about two men navigating a defining moment with honesty, humor, and grace.
