CGiii Comment

More of that battling with religion and sexuality...

For a short film, the opening shot is crucial...dream sequences rarely work [even with a big budget]. And...for a short film, time management is paramount. Tell the story, delete the unnecessary!

A day in the life of closeted high school senior Jeremiah. With a religious upbringing, and a conservative mother, Jeremiah tries to fight his attraction to other boys, in particular his classmate Evan. With his struggle Jeremiah's mental health becomes jeopardized.
