`Evermore, by Biz Stone

“Evermore” is the story of a single mother who buries herself in work and a grandfather who hides in his own little world. The imaginative machinations of an eight-year-old girl may mean salvation for this family darkened by loss. An invitation to a school play sheds light on the importance of family.

Twitter co-founder Biz Stone does Edgar Allan Poe's `The Raven, in order to deal with loss.  The poem is a stirringly frightening one, but in the context of this short film, it's an anchor for the story line, made endearingly so by that eight-year old girl's recitations.  If there is any fright to it, though, it is muted, even submerged.
