Beneath the genre elements is a deeply human portrait of two men navigating pain, healing, and the cultural expectations that tell them to stay strong instead of honest.

Growing up in India, guys often act tough and joke around, even when they’re hurting inside. You never know what someone is going through beneath the surface. Our story follows James, who is struggling after losing a close friend. Rick tries to support him, even though it’s awkward. His attempt at advice helps — but the truth is, men shouldn’t need a big moment to open up. It should always be okay to share how we feel. This film comes from the heart: a reminder of how important it is to be real with your friends, no matter the expectations or the fear of vulnerability. #FilmShortage #SciFiShortFilm #DramaShortFilm FILM SHORTAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram: https://instagram.com/filmshortage Twitter: https://twitter.com/filmshortage Facebook: https://facebook.com/filmshortage Website: https://filmshortage.com Film Shortage is home to the next generation of filmmakers, premiering some of the best and diverse short films online
