Telling

16 min

An intimate two-hander that draws you in with warmth, then quietly tightens into something uncomfortable and unresolved.

Directed by
Sean Dugan
Overview
A previously estranged father and son spend a rare, unexpectedly fun weekend reconnecting — until something unspoken becomes spoken. Can their fragile bond survive the truth? And whose truth is it?
How it feels
Warm, tense, melancholic and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About
Family, parenthood, deception, identity
Content
