Kindling Storyline

Inspired by true events, Kindling follows a group of young men who return to their hometown to turn their friend Sid’s final summer into a celebration of life and friendship. Facing mortality, Sid wants to create a legacy and be remembered forever. With his obsession for astronomy and the atmosphere, he comes up with a plan to bring everyone together and make this summer unforgettable. He gives each boy a category – love, home, friends, family and location – and asks them to find an item that connects them all with the word they’ve been given. That week they’ll build a fire to burn the items they collect, a ritual that Sid believes will make him last forever.

Kindling Movie Reviews

A beautifully made film about life

An unusual perspective on male emotion, Kindling is sensitively written, sympathetically directed and beautifully shot, with some excellent performances.

We follow the characters though a short summer and we are shown their depth and development as they come to terms with the sad reality of their loved one imminent passing.

The actors put in performances that show they really believe in the story this film is telling, so it is unfair to pick any individual out for praise, as they are all deserving.

And hats off to the young director, Connor O’Hara, who shines a light on this often hidden subject.

I defy you not to be moved by this thoughtful film.

Beautiful

This film has a special place in my heart after watching, from the beautiful and stunning competition and witty cinematography, to the charming and comforting relationship that the characters have with each-other. Kindling had an effect on me which was total emersion in the film. The colour grade gives your eyes a visual hug along with the magnificent score that only heightens the grip that the film has on you. This film brings comfort to those who have lost a loved one to cancer and helps educate people on how it can effect friends and family as well as the individual who is unwell

A story that makes you reflect, laugh, cry and appreciate those in your life.

Heart Wrenchingly Hopeful

Kindling is the most uplifting film about death I’ve ever seen. Throughout the course of the story, we peer into these beautiful moments of serenity in companionship. Boys walking through a field just for the sake of it, a young man and women swimming in a lake, simply to swim, and a mother washing the dishes with a helpful man. Connor crafted this film from a very personal experience, as he too has lost people very dear to him. His maturity on the subject is truly the golden center of Kindling. Especially through the entourage of friends pouring out their emotions in some of the most vulnerable scenes I’ve seen on screen. I could go on… The acting is phenomenal. I personally found Geoff to stand out in his roll as the Father trying to connect. David Wright’s Cinematography is stellar throughout giving a warm, safe atmosphere. Harry Brokensha’s score swells with the emotional moments perfectly. Connor’s script ties it all together. This film has some laughs, some awe, and plenty of tears. I couldn’t recommend this enough.
