Hens and Chicks

Raised by her two moms, Hanna has always known that there are all types of families. But she’s never really thought about the logistics of it all until her friend Marco explains the process of creating chicks from eggs. Soon after, an educational trip through cyberspace has Hanna asking, “Who’s MY rooster?” “Hens and Chicks” is a short independent film that explores the meaning of family and the finding of self. Sweet and funny, this coming-of-age story plays with the universal questions we ask ourselves as parents, children, and human beings.
