A Good Man
They said he was a saint who never had a harsh word for anyone. Eight-year-old Lil Juno remembers things a little differently. Surrounded by polite whispers, black suits, and mournful classical music, Juno refuses to let the room turn her best mate into a sanitized statue. Because Donald didn't listen to string quartets—he listened to 1970s rock 'n' roll. A 60-second animated drama about memory, family, and celebrating a life truly lived. Written & Directed by Paul Easther Featuring Lil Juno
I wanted to explore how we remember people after they’re gone—and how the truth of a person is often found in small, imperfect stories rather than solemn tributes. A Good Man lets a child cut through the conventions of grief with honesty and humour. It explores loss, memory and the wonderfully flawed details that can make someone worth remembering.
