When Mike and Lisa separate, their children suffer quietly. Sixteen-year-old Kat believes they will reconcile and keeps the situation secret. As months pass and tensions mount, she becomes isolated between family and friends with no one to confide in.
Meanwhile, Jack is forced to mediate between parents and carry the family finances. While his mom avoids confrontation, their dad works to lead his string band to victory in Philadelphia’s annual Mummer’s Parade. A band member himself, Jack questions his loyalty as his parents’ actions wear on his own relationship.
The New Year Parade is a unique discovery film, mixing actors and non-actors, documentary footage and fiction, to take a closer look at how divorce can affect young people.

WHAT MAKES THIS PROJECT DIFFERENT
|
|
In film, divorce is often a quick back story; a shorthand for character development. That kid, the one with the ratty clothes, the quiet misfit – he has a single parent, fill in the blanks. For The New Year Parade I was interested in those blanks, the moments that we consider “understood” or too common to showcase. What happens when kids grow up with these statistics bouncing around in their heads? What hope does that give them? I don’t claim to have answers, but perhaps in presenting The New Year Parade these questions will prompt new dialogue among young people and their parents.
