Bob
A girl invites a costumed stranger off the street to her older sister’s dinner party. The mysterious man simply called ‘Bob’ seems friendly enough……
This short film follows a single mother and her young son Jeremy. Jeremy has his obstacles, succumbing to school bullying and battling acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Inspired by writer/director Langley McArol’s own childhood experience and his close maternal bond, the short film builds on the theme of courage – through the power of imagination from bedtime storytelling. Within this world we learn about his guardian, the Mighty Celestia, a protector and guide to the young boy.
This may be a personal project for Langley, but his blood, sweat and tears have created a powerful piece of film. ‘Superhero’ is essentially a mother-son love story – that love is felt in abundance and unapologetic. A finely crafted short that pulls at the heart.
