About No Pictures With My Father

No Pictures With My Father is an emotionally charged feature film that captures the powerful journey of a son who, after more than 40 years, sits down for the first time to take a photo with his father. But what begins as a simple gesture unfolds into a heartfelt, vulnerable conversation filled with decades of silence, emotion, and hope.

This isn’t just a film—it’s a raw and intimate look at what happens when two people face the truths they’ve avoided for years. Through restrained yet powerful storytelling, the film explores generational wounds, the weight of unspoken words, and the quiet bravery it takes to seek connection.

Filmmaker Reginald M. Jernigan Jr., who spent years working at Walmart and observing the resilience of everyday people, brings a unique, grounded perspective to the screen—one that champions emotional honesty and the healing power of dialogue.
