Seeking Talents for "On Screen" Student Short Film
After being stood up at a theatre, Landon’s life is changed when the queer film he witnesses seemingly fills his life with colour. When returning home, he longs for the comfort of the theatre. He returns, where he meets Eli, another lone movie goer who embodies the self-acceptance Landon has only ever known in works of on-screen fiction. But as their relationship grows deeper, Landon begins to realize his identity, and is faced with the decision to become his truth, or risk losing familiarity of what he once knew as his life in a heteronormative society.
2 roles
An introvert, tending to be emotionally guarded and lost within his identity. A cinephile at heart, he is obsessed with the cinema and deeply connects to art reflected on-screen. He is curious about his queerness as a result of the films/media he has consumed, but is held back by societal perception, and unwillingness to experience what he believes is overwhelming change.
A sarcastic, witty, and confident punk who has immersed himself in queer culture and the rejection of societal norms throughout his life. Having once experienced life the way Landon does, he makes it his responsibility to let people open up to him and encourages them to be their true selves. Through this, he can be very blunt and straightforward, which intimidates some people.
