Those Who Wait

Those Who Wait is a poetic retelling of the Millerite doomsday movement that swept across America in the 1840s. The film follows the town of Portland, Maine as its residents navigate waves of apocalyptic prophecy and disappointment. Mixing the genres of historical re-enactment and fantastic parable, this queer gaze into the colonial past explores the powers and perils of "believing it's over".
