Be Here Now (in post-production)

about

​

in post-production | short film | director & writer

​

Celeste (they/them), a grieving artist, returns to their hometown for a quick visit, but when their ride's car is stolen they must spend the night revisiting the people and places they left behind, realizing that connection, joy, and magic are at play even when life feels impossible.

​

Be Here Now merges the aesthetics of irreverent queer cinema and 90s/2000s teen dramas through a lens of poetry & place, legacies of queer resistance, and DIY underground art & music that re-imagines what a coming-of-age story can be in a time of late stage capitalism and disconnection.
