Aside from the catchy title, "My Dead Dad" brings to mind a particular style of independent film from the 1990s

This is the primary theme in Correa's touching play My Dead Dad, which explores how the concept of a connection might be reframed via reflection. Lucas moves to Los Angeles with the intention of quickly selling his father's property, but as the building and its tenants begin to take an emotional interest in him, his aims begin to diminish.Aside from the catchy title, "My Dead Dad" brings to mind a particular style of independent film from the 1990s that combined a high concept with low budget and ultimately focused on moments, whether they were created by a single actor, between actors, or by a group of relatively unknown actors finding their voice. That's how "Dad" is; cleverly directed, gorgeously edited, and with a cast of actors who all get their moment to shine.

Gritty, engaging and realistic

Pedro Correa plays the son of a father who recently passes away. Lucas inherits the estate. Problem is, there's no relationship over the past 15 years. More like abandonment. In deciding what to do with the property, Lucas finds out more about his dad, causing him to deal with the pain he has kept inside all those years. I thought Correa's acting was so well done it made me think this could have been a reality show. The heartfelt emotion pulses through the story, and the ending was a good one. For an independent film, I was pleasantly surprised and look forward to more from this actor. Recommended.
