Experiencing Interruptions?

Far From Me

When suffering from car troubles on an important trip, an act of kindness from a family helps an overburdened mother realize her true priorities in life.

Far From Me is a story about how one random act of kindness can help remind us of what really matters in life. Focusing on the relatable yet complex relationship between an overburdened Mother and a misunderstood Son, played beautifully by Mitchell Larsen and an award-winning performance from Bernadette Mullen. As well as the award-nominated performances of Todd and Cara Lewis.
