The Little Prince(ss)

The Little Prince(ss) (2021) is an American short drama you can watch online on iFILM. Seven-year-old Gabriel — a Chinese-American kid who loves ballet — becomes friends with a classmate named Rob and visits his home. That visit is where the 19-minute film finds its conflict.

Rob's father notices Gabriel's feminine presentation and decides to intervene. Writer-director Moxie Peng doesn't editorialize. The camera stays close to the boy, and the adult discomfort does all the explaining. Brian Yang and Lynn Chen are among the supporting cast.

A short film that trusts its audience to read what's in front of them rather than spelling it out. Stream The Little Prince(ss) online on iFILM.
