A surreal but tender love story exploring gender, identity and aging, as our hero is forced to choose between art and love.

“Curtain Down becomes a razor-sharp criticism of internalized homophobia, misogyny, and ageism prevalent within cisgender gay male communities. This almost satirical farce deftly bends fantasy and reality: director Casey applies a Golden Hour haze to the lens, giving each shot a dreamy, nostalgic quality.” – Michael Love Michael, Paper Magazine
