BOY, READ is a poignant father-son drama that explores what it means to truly show up for the ones we love. When Jasper Thomas learns his 10-year-old son Xavier is falling behind in school, he responds with discipline instead of empathy—until buried grief and generational pressure push their bond to the breaking point. Set over the course of one school semester, the story follows their imperfect but transformative journey toward healing. With the help of a community reading program, a persistent mother, and moments of quiet revelation, both father and son learn that love isn’t measured in perfection, but in presence.
It’s a story about learning to read… and being read, deeply, for who you truly are.
