Firecracker 2026

Directed by Jovan Brooks

Jaeron, whose birthday is the Fourth of July, celebrates every year watching the fireworks with his family. However, on his 12th birthday, a serious thunderstorm upsets familiar plans. Jaeron holds out hope, but doubt creeps in, and he begins to question whether his family still cares about him now that he’s older — intensifying what will become his most defining birthday yet.
