Non-Love-Song is ‘A short film about two high school best friends on their last day of the summer before heading apart for college.’
One of them obviously has something he wants to say and get off his chest, but isn’t sure how the other person will react. The interesting thing is that it’s possible to read it as one of the guys being genuinely in love with the other but unable to say anything, or alternatively about both of them wanting to say how much they value the other’s friendship but notions of masculinity and how the other person will take that (especially if one of them is gay) make it difficult.
Either way, it’s quite effective. The film screened at more than 45 festival screenings including SXSW, Cinequest, Chicago International Film Festival, and Tel Aviv International LGBT Film Festival where it was named Best International Short Film.
Take a look at the film below.
