SCREENING COMMITTEE'S PICK

SOUTHEAST PREMIERE
Closet Monster tells the story of Oscar Madly, a creative and driven teenager who hovers on the brink of adulthood. Destabilized by his dysfunctional parents, unsure of his sexuality, and haunted by horrific images of a tragic gay bashing he witnessed as a child, Oscar dreams of escaping the town he feels is suffocating him. A talking hamster, imagination and the prospect of love help him confront his surreal demons and discover himself. Closet Monster mixes affecting drama with whimsical fantasy to create a wholly original coming-of-age tale.
