While the mother cries at night because the alcoholic father never comes home from his constant partying and gambling, a young boy escapes into fantasies of rescuing his father from his intoxicated companions and helping him home.

Director’s Vision for ‘Night Games’

Night Games is a personal reflection on my upbringing in a family shaped by addiction and
mental health struggles. With this film, I want to shine a light on ‘dandelion children’—those who
persist despite adversity—while challenging stigmas around difficult family dynamics and
celebrating the resilience found in childhood imagination.
