Petits Salons Presents: My Dead Dad
CMP has been co-hosting Monday Night Music & Film Salons at Petit Ermitage with Darby Gaelle Hannon, and BLKBRD Films. Our event on February 17th featured the HBO Max film, My Dead Dad.
We gathered at 7pm for live music from PJ Costello in The Wiggle Room before moving to the fire deck for the screening, followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers of My Dead Dad.
MY DEAD DAD focuses on the complexities of grief and finding one's own way in the way of an estranged parent's death. The journey from idea to script to set to distribution is an admirable one we would love to share and honor. The discussion afterwards was lead by co-host James Oliver, where we dove into the current state of men's mental health and how we can heal through creation and shared mythology.
Pedro Correa, co-writer and star, has also spear-headed an incredible organization to help with the aftermath of the fires, LA FAMILY RELIEF. Be sure to check out their website for ways you can help their cause.
**This screening included a Q&A with Pedro Correa and actor Booboo Stewart.
