Mind Over Matter Scott Gerow, 2005, 40 min
With
The Best Part of Everything, Jes Therkelsen, 2005, 38min
More than just the average: Two films about two middle-class families.

Who knew picture-perfect was still possible? The Best Part of
Everything depicts a Hallmark-worthy family facing its hopes, dreams,
ambitions, and regrets as the parents prepare for an empty nest. But
are the 20-something children prepared for modern life and love out
in the real world?

Scott Gerow knew his family wasn't perfect when he picked up the
camera to document his father's struggle with morbid obesity. During
filming, Scott discovered he had brain cancer. The poignant
documentary Mind Over Matter, called one of the best shorts at
Sundance this year, chronicles a father and son who face their own
mortality and find out what it means to be a family.
