A gay coming out short film about growing up and discovering sexual identity. The conflict between what is expected of us and what we are.
Broken (2013)
Jason is a typical teenager, who spends most of his time skateboarding. But when Eric and Darren, a gay couple, moves in next door, Jason becomes fascinated by his new neighbors, forcing himself to face some hard hitting truth.
At the surface a coming-of-age story about a young boy discovering his true sexual identity, at its core a sweet, subtextual romance piece. Through internal conflicts affecting many of today’s youth Broken tackles issues we struggle with in modern society.
