About the Short Film
Eleven year old Tyrone, an autistic boy, finds solace in painting – a bond he shared with his late mother. “Find me between the brushstrokes,” she said, and these words haunt him and guide him into a world where memories live on in colour on canvas. At home, his mother’s absence lingers like an unfinished painting. His father, consumed by grief, closes the door to her art studio forbidding him to enter, but to Tyrone it’s the last place his mother’s presence still feels real. Torn between obeying his father and holding onto her, Tyrone pours himself into his art, entering a realm where his paintings come alive. Each brushstroke an act of quiet resistance and healing, proving that even in silence and absence, love can still be vividly alive, painted into the very fabric of his world.
