CGiii Comment

A student film with strengths and weaknesses...

The cinematography is excellent. In places, the editing is a little crude...killing the flow!

Directing kids is no easy task...these kids needed to be directed more!

As for the ending...it just fizzles out!

The(ir) Blurb...

When Jace's cousin, Dakota, visits for the weekend, Jace is more than a little annoyed. If his group of roughhousing friends discover that Dakota is transgender, the damage to Jace's reputation would be irreparable. When Dakota's transgender identity is finally revealed, Jace is confronted with a decision: betray his cousin or stand up to his friends and lose face in this small community.
