Two girls (Braelyn and Rylee Riggs) want to make a music video for
their mother for Mother's Day. Now of course, them being about eight, they
have no idea how to achieve this, but as this is to be a surprise they
can't ask anyone, either. Their priorities are of course not that of a
grown-up person when it comes to production, so first of all, they dress
themselves up, to only then try to figure out where to get cameras to film
the thing on - which leads to an adventurous trip to their father's office
and to the basement. Eventually, the girls get into a fight over whether
to use Barbie dolls as actors in their video, an argument that eventually
leads to them hitting one another ... but at the end of the day, they both
perform their own made up songs for their mum, caught on cam ... The
Music Video is basically a slice-of-life cute little film. Obviously
thought up and improvised by the two very young leads, it does show some
filmmaking finesse though thanks to amateur auteur Douglas Reese, who has
a talent to make very trivial things look interesting, as he proves once
again in this movie. So do expect two young girls just do what they do -
but in a very cinematic way ...
