I Am Who I Am
(Short Film)
Summary:
Sam moves in with his father Malcolm after his mother passes away. Sam is an eccentric young boy, who loves to dance and wears bows in his hair. His mother taught him to be confident in himself but that confidence is tested when Malcolm tries to change the parts of Sam that make him who he is. Malcolm is a farmer in rural Ireland who isn’t used to having children around. He doesn’t know how to express his feelings to Sam, which, instead of coming across as worried and loving, comes across as frustrated and disappointed. This difficulty to communicate causes a disconnect between Malcolm and Sam, until Sam comes home one evening with a bruised eye, and Malcolm must decide whether he wants to protect his son, or let him fight his own battles.

Sam is a 12 year old boy who has just lost his mother, and is moving in with the father he never met. His mother always taught him to express himself and to do what makes him happy. He doesn’t conform to gender norms, and enjoys dancing and always wears a bow in his hair. He challenges Malcolm at first when he is told not to dress or act a certain way, before eventually giving in and dressing in his father’s farm gear. His demeanour changes here as he has lost his confidence, and seems quieter now around his father.
