Monique Parent

Trailer for Money Matters. A moving and intimate film that follows Monique 'Money' Matters (Terri Abney) caught at the brink of adolescence. Her relationship with her mother Pamela Matters (Aunjanue Ellis), is far from stable and depicts the struggle between a young mother and daughter who both come of age...together. Sharp and candid dialogues blur the roles of parent and child, revealing a family secret magnified by pain and years of regret. Money's daily routine; a three-bus commute to the Catholic school she attends, far from her dilapidated neighborhood, to another world where she feels just as uncomfortable. When she befriends a neighborhood girl who seems to understand her, their friendship develops in ways that push boundaries.

Monique 'Money' Matters (Terri Abney) is balancing precariously on the brink of her adolescence and her relationship with her mother Pamela (Aunjanue Ellis Ray, Men of Honor), is just as unsteady. As mother and daughter argue, desperate to understand each other, the roles of parent and child become clear and then confused once more. Throughout this journey of comprehension, a family secret is discovered: a secret which, like a wound, has become exacerbated by years of neglect and regret. Money's commute to her Catholic school takes her far from her derelict neighborhood and her difficult home life: yet in this alien world she feels just as much of an outcast. However, when she befriends a sympathetic neighborhood girl, their friendship develops in ways that will push all boundaries.
