"My film is about a teenage boy who has to take care of his abusive grandmother," Lace explained."He grows into this caregiving role, only to find out that she's lost her memory and thinks that he's her old lover. It's definitely inspired by my teenage experience of caregiving for my grandma, who suffered a stroke and sadly lost her memory.
Fellow San Diego filmmaker Marissa Roxas will also screen her short,"You + Me Will Always Be Back Then." The film is a star-crossed romance about two Filipinas in their late 20s as their relationship comes to an end. "It's a very personal story," Roxas said."It was born out of heartbreak. I wrote it after I got out of a relationship and made a film.""I started making skate videos as a kid," Lace recalled."My mom had hid her camcorder — it was expensive — with some other things, like the video games that she would keep locked up until the weekend. And then when I started skating, I noticed that instead of taking the video games out, I could take the camera out.
