IT'S ABOUT TIME

A SHORT FILM BY BRIANA DOUGLAS

A guarded young woman reluctantly reunites with her estranged father on the way to a family gathering. An unexpected detour rekindles old memories and unresolved wounds. She must confront the weight of their fractured bond - before time runs out for good.

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

It’s About Time is a drama with elements of family reconciliation, time, regret, and nostalgia. The script deeply explores strained parent-child relationships, particularly the wounds left by an absent father and the dif-ficulty of reconnecting. The title itself plays on both literal and metaphorical meanings of time—missed moments, second chances, and the inescapable passage of life. The script follows a circular narrative, bringing the audience back to the beginning in a way that forces re-evaluation of events. The pacing is deliberate and naturalistic, mirroring the ebb and flow of real-life reunions—filled with awkwardness, humor, and unspoken emotions. The key structural choice is the reveal of the father’s death, which reframes everything that came before it, adding emotional weight and tragic irony. The audience realizes that this day was their last chance to make amends, making V’s decision to walk away even more heartbreaking.
