My Days of Awe and Grief, Part I: Dirk and Me (2004)
excellent script punctuated with humor
9 September 2004
Short but very sweet is my take on Aaron Douglas's first film, "My Days of Awe and Grief." It takes an honest look back at some of the pivotal moments in a young boys life while growing up in the 1960's in a small Oregon town. Douglas's sense of story and timing has produced an excellent script punctuated with humor (just as life is!). The photography, involves some very effective use of black-and-white photos that's imaginative and supports the story line extremely well. Most importantly, this young filmmaker digs deep, showing the courage necessary to bare a portion of one's soul in order to touch others. This may be his first film, but I'm willing to bet it won't be his last!
