Past Run
Closet Monster
A fresh take on the coming-of-age story, this surreal tale follows the artistically driven Oscar (AMERICAN CRIME’s Connor Jessup) hovering on the brink of adulthood. Struggling to find his place in the world after a rough childhood and haunted by images of a tragic incident, Oscar dreams of escaping his small town. After he meets a mysterious and attractive new co-worker, Oscar follows the guidance of his pet hamster Buffy (voiced by Isabella Rossellini) and faces his demons to find the life he wants.
“Connor Jessup wonderfully inhabits the teenage Oscar, who observes others while trying to find himself.” (Ken Jaworowski, New York Times)
“There have been no shortage of gay coming-of-age films, but few have been as singular and dazzling...it's nothing less than an emotional exorcism.”
— Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
