Momma’s Man

Mikey returns to his parents’place in New York after deciding not to get on the plane to go home to his wife and small child in California. Unsure of his own motivations, he makes up excuses about why he is staying. His doting mother is more than happy to enable his procrastination, while his father remains typically distanced from the situation. As the days go on, Mikey grows more and more entrenched in his adolescent sanctuary and comes to a point where he must choose his life now or his life then. Momma’s Man is a deeply personal take on a universal experience: the fear of growing up. Azazel Jacobs cast his own parents and shot the film in their apartment, where he grew up.
