Years after an unspeakable tragedy tore their lives apart, two sets of parents agree to talk privately in an attempt to move forward. In Fran Kranz’s writing and directorial debut, he thoughtfully examines their journey of grief, anger and acceptance, by coming face-to-face with the ones who have been left behind.
Why we love it:
‘Successfully nailing such a character driven, single location film as your directorial debut is no mean feat but that is exactly what Fran Kranz achieves here. Anchored by modest yet masterful direction, Kranz’s screenplay is brought to life by four awe-inspiring lead performances that will break you down and build you up in waves. The lasting effects of grief and how we process it is examined at a microscopic level as the weight of what these humans are going through permeates through the screen direct to your chest. Long after the credits roll and you have taken a breath, Mass will leave you pondering on what it truly means to allow yourself the opportunity to heal.’ - Chris Kumar, GFF Programme Coordinator
