Film (short) by Celestial Media/Roberto Mighty Director/Writer/DP/Editor Peach Pie, a dramatic narrative short film by Roberto Mighty, follows one afternoon in the life of a mentally ill war widow and her 7-year old boy. Two years after the death of their soldier Husband/Father overseas, Mother and Son struggle to cope. Her OCD and their PTSD are almost at a breaking point. Now, the boy feels he must help hide his Mom's symptoms from the neighbors. A budding author, he spends his time writing in his journal or playing with a toy tank his Dad gave him before going off to war. One of the neighbors - a lonely widow - decides to intervene by offering a gift; a homemade peach pie. This leads to an emotional moment between Mother and Son. Peach Pie dramatically, but subtly underscores how mental illness often goes undiagnosed and untreated in underprivileged communities. Peach Pie stars Robin JaVonne Smith; Introducing Jalon; Featuring Kathryn Howell; with Johnny Quinones, Shawn Read and Jacoby. The story is based on a short poem by author Charles Coe.
