What began its life as a short film about a cult-like drug rehabilitation program ended up becoming even more personal for director Michael T. Workman. In “Meantime,” Workman fixes his camera on his father and, with the help of home videos from two different generations, explores parenthood, pressure and the pitfalls of a capitalistic society.
“It morphed into a film that was more about our relationship and more of a character study about him, and about memory, and familial guilt and the depravity of capitalism,” Workman said in a recent interview with TheWrap.
