“In the midst of dealing with the repercussion of a recent accident, newly introverted William comes in contact with the very spark that may just allow him to overcome – a vivacious young gent named Thomas.”
Mum (2013)
In this nearly wordless short, a deaf swimmer—a regular at his gym’s pool—tries to attract a guy he has his eyes on, but wonders if his disability may get in the way.
Alex Bohs say:
What was your hope for this film? Is it being realized yet?
With every film I take on, my main hope is always to connect. I just find it so beautiful to create/share a bond with so many different individuals all over the world just by making something simple and relatable (while also maintaining a sense of originality and my own personality/life experience laced within). With that said, it never gets easier trying to put into words just how rewarding it is to receive hundreds of responses from family, friends and even strangers, expressing how much the film means to them. It’s been specifically surreal with MUM as this is a very personal film to me so knowing it has found a home in others as a personal experience is absolutely inspiring and a rather poignant solidification that my hope for MUM is certainly being realized.
