Immortal (2015 film)
Immortal is a 2015 American drama film directed by Mark Webber, who also wrote, produced, and starred in it. The film explores themes of family, loss, and grief, centering on the relationship between a young boy, Chase, and his father, Conrad, in the aftermath of the death of Chase's mother.
The narrative unfolds through a naturalistic and often improvisational style, blurring the lines between fiction and reality. Webber's own son, Bodhi Palmer, plays Chase, adding a layer of authenticity to their on-screen dynamic. The film utilizes non-actors alongside professional performers, further enhancing its raw and intimate feel.
Immortal premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2015. It received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its heartfelt performances and its sensitive portrayal of complex emotions. However, some critics noted its slow pace and lack of conventional narrative structure. The film is notable for its low-budget production and its focus on genuine human connection.
