If I Go Will They Miss Me — Trailer Overview

If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026), the Sundance-premiered debut feature from Walter Thompson-Hernández, follows Big Ant (J. Alphonse Nicholson), a father recently returned to Watts, California, and his young son Little Ant (Bodhi Dell), whose visions of ghostly boys drifting through the neighborhood surface the emotional distance between them. A trailer for the film would likely lean into its dreamlike, mythic visual language Little Ant reimagines his parents as figures out of Greek mythology, casting his father as a Poseidon-like presence and his mother, Lozita (Danielle Brooks), as a gentler version of Medusa — while grounding those flights of imagination in the harder realities of incarceration, fatherhood, and inherited silence. Expect a trailer that trades plot mechanics for mood: hazy, sun-bleached shots of Watts, spectral boys standing in the street, and a quiet tension building toward the son's eventual confrontation with his father.
