#shortfilms #film #indiefilm #independentfilm #cinema #dramafilm #drugaddiction #rehab #recidivism Alicia is finally allowing herself a moment she hasn’t had in years — the chance to feel like more than just a provider, more than just a mother. As a single parent, her life has been defined by responsibility, sacrifice, and survival. But tonight, she’s preparing for something different: a long-awaited date and the possibility of a fresh start. At the same time, Alicia is navigating the complicated reality of welcoming her mother, Darlene, back home after another stint in rehab. Determined to believe this time will be different, Alicia supports Darlene’s journey toward stability — celebrating small wins like landing a new job and rebuilding trust. This film is a raw and intimate look at the weight of generational struggle, the resilience of a woman trying to reclaim her life, and the fragile balance between love and boundaries. It explores what it means to hold space for someone else’s healing while desperately needing your own. The Little Red Dress is a story about second chances — and the cost that sometimes comes with them. Directed by Maceo Tendaji Executive Producer: Robert N. Turner Jr. Starring Kristin M.
