Years after leaving his Long Island hometown to chase his dream as a filmmaker, Tom Bell (Finn Wittrock) is down on his luck as a director. Once celebrated for a breakout film inspired by a devastating high school tragedy, Tom has failed to recapture that early success. When a trip home to retrieve the belongings from his recently sold childhood house forces him back into the community he abandoned, he finds himself confronting the people and memories he left behind - including the family of his late girlfriend, whose death forever altered the course of their lives. With Westhampton writer-director Christian Nilsson crafts a haunting, dreamlike meditation on memory, regret, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. (USA, 2025, 94 mins, NR, English | Dir. Christian Nilsson)
