Grey's Anatomy's James Pickens, Jr stars in the short film Albert's Flower - Revisiting Childhood Memories

My guest today is actor James Pickens, Jr. who many of you know as as Dr. Richard Webber for 22 Seasons on the hit series Grey’s Anatomy.  He is a Co-Executive Producer on the series which continues its amazing run winning SAG-AFTRA Screen Actors Guild Awards, multiple People’s Choice Awards, and close to his heart, the NAACP Image Award. James stars in the emotional short film “Albert’s Flower”, a powerfully emotional short film.  Ladies and gentlemen, “Albert’s Flower” is an intimate and moving short film, drawn back to his childhood home, a man returns to confront the weight of his past and finally turn the page on long buried pain. What do we do with – what do we do about – the maddening, ungainly, exhausting, and sometimes ridiculous baggage we carry around with us, that hurts with every step we take; and at the same time makes us, for good and bad and in-between, who we actually are?  Albert's Flower is a taut, heartfelt journey into a present relentlessly haunted by the past, and the courage required to face uncomfortable, unexpected truths about who we are and where we come from...those "flowers" that go untended in our lives. James Pickens, Jr and Eilis Cahill give stellar performances. You feel each characters emotions, as their cinematic synergy radiates onscreen. This a must see short film. #shortfilm #greysanatomy #childhoodtrauma #memories #lifelessons #forgiveness #healing #film #cinema #bondoncinema #filmmaking #filmmaker #cinephile
