A young naive filmmaker on the verge of making his first feature film agrees to be mentored by a director he idolizes but realizes too late that his jealous mentor is only out to sabotage him for his own personal gain, so he must break way form this toxic relationship and find the story he was meant to tell before his chances of success are tarnished.

Director - Charles Jon Gray

This film is a deeply personal film of mine because it taps into a real life experience that I had with a mentor who I thought was looking out for my best interests. It turns out that the bond we shared slowly became toxic over time and I felt it was better to leave the situation than to endure the distress and hurt it had caused. In this story, I am dealing with the theme of “crab mentality” which is a term used in the Filipino community that depicts the idea of people in higher ranking positions not wanting to help those below them for fear that they will rise up higher than them in ranking, whether it be in social status, an employment position, or any other form of success.
