CGiii Comment

A well-made film...with [surprisingly] eloquent and [alarmingly] confrontational teens.

It's all just a little bit unrealistic!

The(ir) Blurb...

High School violinist Rachel, the token straight friend in her group, starts the school year determined to ask her popular guy crush to the school dance. But Rachel’s plans, and her ideas about gender, go awry when she meets handsome genderqueer teenager Sammy, who plays guitar and challenges the notion that “He” and “She” are the only options. Rachel and Sammy become friends, form a band, and combat the gender binary in this comedic short with a rocking soundtrack.
