Private Project

In the Absence of Light

A failed actor in his mid-20s is torn between joining a burgeoning resistance movement to fight against a tyrannical enemy force or remaining trapped at home, bound by duty to his overprotective mother. As he grapples with his conflicting desires for freedom and acceptance, he must ultimately choose between pursuing his own destiny or sacrificing himself for a cause greater than himself.
