Behind the Scenes: 'Grandma's Hands' (2019) Short Film

  • Georgette Mason

'An intimate, delicate and yet powerful look at the resilience of humans and how you're never too old to reinvent yourself or start again.' Inspired by a real story.

'Meet Valerie, a once avid painter and artist. Her diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis in her hands has led to extreme daily discomfort, and both an inability and lack of desire to paint. Unsupported and overlooked by her husband, Valerie finds herself in a rut. Stuck in a mundane cycle of loneliness, almost every glimmer of her once creative self is now gone.'
