LOGLINE: Christian jeopardizes both his future career and a budding romance when a childhood friendship resurfaces.

CHRISTIAN: Lead, Male, 21
An anxious photographer who wants nothing more than to live his own life without losing the approval of the people he loves. His father’s disapproval of his career choice deeply weighs on him, and he often feels a constant state of pressure to harden himself and prove his masculinity, particularly from his childhood best friend Tyler. Meanwhile, he’s trying to navigate a budding romance with his friend Sophia but struggles to communicate his emotions, having spent years learning to suppress them.

TYLER: Supporting, Male, 21
A dominating, charismatic frat boy and Christian’s best friend since childhood. Deeply invested in his alpha-male persona, Tyler cares more about what others think of him than he’d ever admit and works hard to hide his insecurities. Beneath the bravado, he’s afraid of losing the safety and intimacy of his friendship with Christian that his hyper-masculine culture cannot offer him.
