Director: Griffin in Summer

Synopsis

Summer vacation is usually the time for kids to let loose, but for fourteen-year-old Griffin Nafly, it’s time to get down to the serious business of putting on his dramatic new play, Regrets of Autumn. However, when his tween collaborators get distracted by more trivial pursuits like boys and hard seltzers, Griffin’s attention drifts toward Brad, the handsome 25-year-old handyman working at his house. Soon Griffin finds a kindred spirit in Brad, a moody failed performance artist from New York. But as Griffin’s feelings for Brad grow, everything starts to fall apart.
