HERON

A father-and-son story.

Tony Slattery · James Eeles · 10 min 50

The film

Heron is a short film about frustration, loss and reconnecting with the people closest to us — and the comedic irony life throws at us all. Tony Slattery plays a father who thinks he’s talking to his son. He isn’t. Justin, played by James Eeles, has found the boy’s phone, and the two of them end up connecting in a way neither expected.
