Very well produced high school film addressing the very serious subject of gay kids coming out. Well shot, well acted, good script. This film is very believable and makes you think about how these kids deal with these issues, how their parents deal with it, and how society deals with it. Nicely done.
Megan, a closeted gay 15-year-old, runs away from her mother's expectations. Hiding in an old subway tunnel she uses spray paint to create art. She hopes that this gallery of graffiti will help her mother understand who she is. Directed by Ben Kadie (age 17), filmed in downtown Seattle and in the 100-year-old underground bunkers of Fort Casey State Park. Cast includes Molly berg, Andrew Tribolini, Rex Davison, Victoria Pucket.
