YOUNG BOY (2023) cover image
Young Boy is a sensitive and moving film that I believe audiences will relate to.

The story revolves around a young boy whose mother is ill. We see her on oxygen and don't know the details of her illness, only that the boy is quite troubled by it. He seeks refuge in his treehouse and a dark figure mysteriously appears to offer him hope.

The camera work, audio recording and edited are all top notch. This film was made by a team of students from middle, high school and college who shadowed industry professionals to create this. It's an admirable piece that would play well at any KIDS FIRST! film festival. The outstanding performance by Franklin Young as the boy will stick in your mind long afterwards. The background music also deserves mention as it so perfectly sets the tone of the film.

The film's message is about finding refuge and help in times of fear.

I give Young Boy 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

A young boy dealing with a hard family situation is offered an opportunity to find hope again in the form of a wish.
