Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle EditorColman Domingo says his younger brother gave him the best compliment about his new autobiographical animated short, “New Moon.”“He was overcome,” Domingo tells me on this week’s episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast. “He said, ‘More than anything, you brought the feeling of mom back.’”“New Moon” tells the story of a little boy who is shown how to dream by his hardworking single mom. It is based on Domingo’s play “A Boy and His Soul.”Domingo is the voice of the narrator as well as the mother.
“My siblings say I have my mom’s voice down pat,” he says. “They’re like, ‘You sound just like mommy.’”The film will screen during Outfest on July 16 in Los Angeles. “New Moon” is written by Domingo and his husband and producing partner Raúl Domingo.
Raúl co-directed with Jérémie Balais and Jeff Leffig. When the couple first made the film, they didn’t know what to do with it. It was people like Ava DuVernay, Lee Daniels and Matthew Cherry who suggested they submit it to film festivals.
They’re hoping to adapt it as a television series.I talked to Domingo just hours after he received his first Emmy nomination for his work as Ali on “Euphoria.” “I did something that shocked me — I actually started crying,” Domingo says of learning he was nominated. “This felt different because I know what the character represents to many people. It sounds strange, but I wanted it for all that he represents and the language that Sam [Levinson] gives me and what he’s doing in the television space, which I think is a breakthrough.
