Mothers & Daughters
horizontal line

Filmmaker Beth Brickell explores the often strained relationship between mothers and daughters in these two critically acclaimed films: In the touching, realistic, 30-minute, 1984 Summer's End film, parental discord quickly ensues between a strict, well-meaning Arkansas mother (Radha Delamarter) and her more-relaxed husband (Bill Vint) when she forces her 10-year-old tomboy daughter (Jennifer Miller) to cut her ponytails so that she will fit in with the other children in 1948; when a bitter, famous Hollywood television star (Mariette Hartley) returns home to Texas for the funeral of her father (Eric Holland) in this down-to-earth, engaging, 30-minute, 1978 A Rainy Day film, bad memories are stirred up as she reminisces with her controlling, overbearing mother (Collin Wilcox Paxton) about her childhood as a young girl (Tracey Gold).
