"Catching Up" (2020, 13 minutes, with Dustin Diamond)

Thirteen minute short. A girl's mother abandons her and her father to pursue a music career.

Nine years later, the girl is trying to be a singer herself, posting videos online. She says this was what her mother did rather than performing publicly and developing a local fanbase.

"Singing is the one thing you do well," her father tells her. I don't think it was intended as a backhanded compliment.

Her mother abandons her tour and rushes back to attend the school talent show when she learns that the child she abandoned is performing.

The late Dustin Diamond gives an energetic performance as MC of the talent show.

Kind of bland, I guess. It had mean girls and a nice guy teen boy.
