Take Note

2024 · 13 min

A tender, quietly tense short about secret crushes and the courage it takes to be seen, with a teacher's stand echoing the girls' own risk.

Overview: Two girls are afraid of what will happen if one of the student’s parents might discover their mutual “crushes,” as they monitor all messages on her phone. Instead, they share written notes in class. After learning this, their teacher Ms. Amado is forced to confront conservative prejudices within the school system by coming out to her entire class.
