YOUR PEPPERMINTED SON cover image
Your Pepperminted Son is a creative and heartwarming mini-musical created by college students. The story centers on Isaac Flatwhite, who declares war on his coffee-obsessed father and school dean, Abraham, when he refuses to recognize Isaac's favorite drink--Peppermint Mocha--as real coffee. Beneath the fun premise lies a relatable deeper story about family rift and reconciliation.

The film shines visually and musically, blending realistic campus scenes with whimsical, scrapbook-style fantasy sequences that reflect Isaac's daydreams. Outstanding camera work, thoughtful costuming, and authentic performances from leads Sebastian Son and James Bacon make the father-son tension and ultimate truce feel genuinely moving. The standout original song, "Cool and Sweet," ties the performances together flawlessly.

The film's message is that family won't always see eye to eye, and true resolution comes from accepting your differences.

I give Your Pepperminted Son 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18. By Valerie M., KIDS FIRST!
