*A new trailer has arrived for “If I Go Will They Miss Me,” a coming-of-age drama about a young boy whose imagination shapes the way he understands his father and the world around him.
The trailer release follows a major festival win for the film, which took home Best Feature Film at this month’s Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival.
Set in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, the film centers on 12-year-old Lil Ant. Through his eyes, his father is more than just a parent — he is a larger-than-life figure shaped by the wonder and innocence of childhood.
As Lil Ant navigates his relationship with his father, the story explores their bond while examining family, childhood, and the grace people extend to those they love.

“If I Go Will They Miss Me” is distributed by Rich Spirit and will first arrive in Los Angeles on September 11, followed by a nationwide release on September 18. Watch the official trailer above.
