- This is a past program
Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
Part of the UCLA Film & Television Archive screening series Making Waves. Learn more at cinema.ucla.edu.
In person: Q&A with writer-director Destin Daniel Cretton.
10 years after its debut, Destin Daniel Cretton’s Short Term 12 (2013) still pulsates with an assured and honest beat of human connection and tenderness, led by a superb cast of now very recognizable faces. Grace (Brie Larson) manages the staff and patients at a foster care home where she and her colleagues treat the job as a way of life. Moments like a new employee arriving who must be trained, a beloved resident graduating out of the home, and a young woman arriving that Grace takes a personal interest in, weave together to form the fabric of a compassionate film about personal trauma and collective care.
DCP, color, 96 min. Director: Destin Daniel Cretton. Screenwriter: Destin Daniel Cretton. With: Brie Larson, LaKeith Stanfield, Rami Malek, Stephanie Beatriz
