CGiii Comment

Good productions values and some strong supporting performances - especially the elder brother.

The plot is a little convoluted and angsty Arlo is the typical stereotype. That said, it's a student film that shows potential.

The(ir) Blurb...

Arlo, a trans teenager who’s been living on his own for two years, comes face to face with a missing poster of himself that uses his deadname and a school picture taken years before he transitioned. He calls the number on the phone and complains about being deadnamed to the hotline operator, who recognizes the voice on the phone and reveals herself to be Arlo’s mother.
