While the film excels in its solid acting delivery and the palpable chemistry between the leads, it is not without a minor setback. The pacing, at times, feels a bit slow and could benefit from some trimming to maintain a more dynamic flow. The cinematography, nicely handled by Michael Thomas Lambert and Taylor O. Miller, captures the essence of the narrative with precision and of a respectable quality.
The payoff lies in its heartfelt storytelling and the genuine connection portrayed by its protagonists. Scott’s writing sparkles, delivering a sweet coming-of-age tale that successfully conveys the complexity of self-discovery and young love. The short navigates the contrast between the rigid expectations of his previously macho identity and the more fluid, accepting atmosphere of Jayden’s world. An impactful contribution to the LGBTQ+ genre, offering an important message to its audience.
