Fuck You, Mother
Written and directed by Kwame Boahene

Well, Kwame's email address and phone number
no longer work. Looks like I won't be getting a copy of this short, as promised.

  

Kwame Boehene has a friend who talks to his mother with the foulest mouth Kwame has ever heard. He was so shocked by the young man's behavior, he wrote a short script demonstrating the appalling oratory. When Kwame offered me the part of Helen, the mother and object of her son's awful conduct, just noting the title was enough to make me jump at the opportunity.

This was fun! And I give the final dig in the dialogue. How very satisfying.

I turn away from my ill-bred son who rudely gestures
to punctuate his feelings towards me.
