Dope Mister Dee – Written by Juliet DeVette and Kendall Giliberti-Severson, with direction by DeVette, this gorgeously shot film focuses on young Dizzy, who is still nursing the wound of their father going missing. Still struggling with this, Dizzy recounts memories of their father while exploring the world under the waves, along with some help from their imagination, as a child would. It’s a heartbreaking film, but one of great beauty, as Dizzy uses their underwater excursion to find a way to let go of a hole in their life that is far too large. Carson Severson is incredible as Dizzy, each moment of loss and sorrow coming through perfectly. Joining Severson is Murilo Franco and Corbin Severson, completing the small but very talented cast. The acting is superb and the underwater filming made this a very beautiful film worth giving a look.
