This drama short film follows a kid who is caught doing drag by their conservative mother. They must make the ultimate choice: stay with their family and be "normal" or leave and be their true self. I decided to create the film with no dialogue to portray how these individuals can feel voiceless. This film reflects the reality that many queer kids face in their daily lives and what they might have to lose to be their true selves. I wrote, directed, shot, and edited this film myself.

I’ve always been a daydreamer. I make up stories in my head and play them out again and again, like a movie. To me, creativity is letting these ideas transform into my own art and communicating issues that matter to me through this art to share with the world.
