CGiii Comment

It is a student film with some sound issues...

As funny [and sweet] as it is, it could have gone way over-the-top! Good start though.

No trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

On a stormy night, James finally builds up the courage to come out to his religious parents, only for their reaction to take a completely unexpected turn. The Bet is a heartfelt coming-out story with a sharp comedic twist, exploring love, miscommunication, and the chaos of unconditional support.
