A film student from Long Island, who cut his dying father’s cough out of the home movies at thirteen, spends four years filming everyone but himself — until one festival slot, a rival’s film, and the footage he’s been cutting force him to choose between the safe version and the true one.

An original coming-of-age drama drawn from Max Hechtman’s own adolescence and college years as a young filmmaker, currently in development as his feature directorial debut. To request the screenplay, pitch deck and treatment, use the CONTACT button below.
