Up on The Roof

CONTENT WARNING:
"Up on the Roof" is the second part to a three part short film anthology series entitled "Strangers." This particular short is inspired by questions that I have about being afraid of intimacy, lack of experience and desperation. I was also very intrigued by the idea of a character whose personal gratification comes from making others feel good - no matter their sexual orientation. This story is very near and dear to my heart as I explore my own journey with intimacy, boundaries, consent and self-love.
