Curfew

Curfew (2012) is an American short drama from Shawn Christensen that you can watch online on iFILM. At the very bottom of his life, Richie is about to end it all when the phone rings.

The caller is the estranged sister he hasn't spoken to in years: she has nobody else to watch her nine-year-old daughter, Sophia. A few hours with the kid reshape the whole night — they dance in a bowling alley, trade jabs on the subway, and a man who'd just given up finds a reason to stay. Christensen wrote, directed, and starred in it, and in nineteen minutes he lands a punch that many features never manage. The short took home the Oscar for Best Live Action Short, and Christensen later expanded it into the feature Before I Disappear. Stream Curfew (2012) online on iFILM.
