'If I Go Will They Miss Me' gave Danielle Brooks room to explore a quieter side of her craft.
The Oscar-nominated actress plays Lozita, the mother of 12-year-old Lil Ant, bringing a tenderness informed by her own experience of motherhood. Playing Lozita also meant a great deal to Brooks personally. She has spoken about how fulfilling the experience was and how much it gave her emotionally.
There is something revealing about an actor finding that kind of connection with a character. Brooks was drawn to Lozita’s quietness, a quality she felt audiences had rarely seen in her previous performances. The part offered her space to explore that stillness and the vulnerability within it.
In this scene, that vulnerability comes to the surface. Brooks gives Lozita the space to cry, allowing the moment to unfold at its own pace. It is a delicate part of a performance rooted in the love a mother holds for her children, even when she is struggling herself.
Walter Thompson-Hernández wrote, directed, and edited If I Go Will They Miss Me, expanding the story from his 2022 short film of the same name, which won the U.S. Fiction Short Film award at the Sundance Film Festival.
The story is told largely through Lil Ant’s eyes. The boy transforms his neighborhood, located beneath the flight path of planes arriving at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), into a living mythology, where his family members become gods — and his father becomes the greatest of them all.
