FORGETTING NAEVY cover image
Forgetting Naevy is quite a remarkable film by a middle school student filmmaker.

The story follows two childhood friends, Thomas and Naevy, who are torn apart when Naevy's dad gets a job out of state. They promise to stay in touch with one another and do until they don't. Circumstances change and Naevy's dad is relocated again, back to their home town. Naevy can't wait to see Thomas again, but when she does, something is very much amiss and he has lost his memory. Slowly they rebuild their friendship, creating new memories.

This is very well produced with great camera work, audio recording, terrific acting and direction. Really this is outstanding and, as a student film, even more remarkable. The plot development leads us down the rabbit hole, wondering what happened to Thomas and kudos to Naevy, for coming up with a solution to help him. This will make a great addition to any student film festival that KIDS FIRST! partners with.

The film's message is about rolling with the punches, and never letting your friends down.

I give Forgetting Naevy 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

Two childhood friends, Thomas and Naevy, are torn apart when one of their father's gets a job in another state. They promise to stay in touch and write to each other every week, and they do, until one day Naevy's letter isn't returned. Naevy returns to their home town only to find out things are much more sinister than she once thought. Watch Naevy and Thomas navigate friendship, loss and then life after hardship.
