What's it about: Based on director Connor O'Hara's own experience of losing a friend young, Kindling is a poignant, heartwarming and tear-jerking story about a group of men who journey back to their small hometown to celebrate life, love and friendship with their terminal cancer-stricken friend during his final summer. The cast, writers and direction blend seamlessly in putting the rarely-seen, sensitive and vulnerable bond between male friendship under the microscope, especially in the face of immeasurable pain and the process of grief, both present and impending. A must-watch.
