BE-LONGING –A SHORT FILM
Be-longing is a short story of a young boy aged ten who has been placed in care and is living in a foster home. Removed from violent and chaotic birth parents after a series of family breakdowns, he is torn between accepting the trust, kindness and security of his foster family and remaining 'loyal' to his birth parents who he still loves dearly.
Be-longing shows this boys journey from his very first day 'in care' and charts his progress along the way. Mike McKenzie, director, has been making films for over eight years. He and his family have derived enormous satisfaction from fostering young children and have experienced some real highs and lows. Mike has been passionate about making a film such as this for a long while and is looking forward to Be-longing’s release.
