Chicago – The film festival season for Autumn 2023 is gearing up, and a local Chicago filmmaker has two of his short films in the mix. Writer/director George Ellzey Jr., has his family relationship films “Bosom” and “Cottage Grove” currently on the circuit. “Bosom” will screen on September 27th at the upcoming (click link) Charlotte Film Festival and “Cottage Grove” will be at the Wichita, Kansas, Tall Grass Film Festival on October 6th.
“Bosom” involves estranged sisters Jade and Amber, who are attending their mother’s funeral, where long-held resentments and painful secrets are revealed. The twist … both had participated with their mother in a famous reality TV show. “Cottage Grove” is a bit more personal to the filmmaker. A father and son – distant for most of the son’s life – are reconciling what their relationship means after the father suffers a stroke.
