FILMMAKERS IN ATTENDANCE!
After a failed suicide attempt injures an innocent bystander, Josiah, a socially-awkward teen from a strict religious home is sentenced to community service where he crosses paths with Teresa, a trans girl convicted of shoplifting gender-affirming clothing. She's everything he wishes he could be - confident, assertive, and totally unafraid to be herself no matter what anyone tells her. But, desperate to fit in, Josiah pretends to be someone he isn't and is quickly accepted into the ranks of the other juvenile delinquents. After witnessing the relentless transmisogyny Teresa is subjected to by his new friends, Josiah is forced to choose between doing what is right and what is easy, and finally asserts who he is, no matter the consequences.
NOTE: This film will ONLY play in the HEART TO HEART (SHORTS BLOCK). It will NOT play by itself!
