“You’re weird as hell.” – Charlotte McArthur
“Where do you think you get it?” – Elisha McArthur
All Charlotte McArthur wanted for her 9th birthday was a trip to the Grand Canyon, a request that might’ve seemed unusual if her mom wasn’t a career river guide. At 15, she’d rather be almost anywhere else. But Elisha and Charlotte are heading back—grandma’s coming, too—in search of renewed connection to the river and each other.
This Mother’s Day, don’t miss the digital premiere of River Mamma, a short film by Sarah Hamilton.
Featuring Elisha and Charlotte McArthur
Directed by Sarah Hamilton
Executive produced by Ashley Peel and Charlie Turnbull
Supported by NRS and the 5Point Film Fund
