As If

Written, Directed, Produced, and Edited by Jack Lafferty.

‘As if’ follows Ryan as he struggles to accept the devastating incoming dementia his father Peter is now living with. With the encouragement of his partner Kate, Ryan tries to accept his dad’s reality rather than correcting him. “Just go along with him, just be with him, just be present with him.” The father and son bond as they ride bikes through the neighborhood. ‘As If’’ celebrates the simplicity and joy of being present in the moment even with the heartbreaking confusion of an all too common condition.
