"There is something far worse than being forgotten... and that is to be misunderstood." That's a powerfully true statement. Is it possible to connect with and understand different people through music? That's sort of the premise behind this stop-motion animated short film titled Charlotte, created & directed by filmmaker Zach Dorn. After first premiering at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival last fall, it's now available to watch online below. Forgotten folk singer Lena Black discovers that her fifty-year-old song "Charlotte" has been remade into a hit pop song. Set in the aftermath of the release and the new pop song's massive success, this short explores how the legacy of the song impacts Lena and her family. The film stars the voices of O-Lan Jones (as Lena), Devin Schlatter, Chase Padgett, Phoebe Jane Hart, and Michael Goldfried. This is a much more contemplative film than you might be expecting, focusing more on the words being spoken.
