Dylan’s Room

In Dylan’s Room, grief lives in the smallest details.

Penny returns to her late son’s bedroom — a space untouched since his death — and quietly drifts through memories left behind in drawers, posters, and half-forgotten objects. Without heavy dialogue or explanation, the film draws us into her inner world, where loss, love, and nostalgia blur together. Joanna Scanlon delivers a stunningly subtle performance, supported by tender writing and luminous cinematography. Gentle, intimate, and deeply human, Dylan’s Room is a short film that doesn’t ask for tears — it earns them.
