"Show and Tell" began as a proof of concept for a feature-length screenplay. I took a scene from the script and began reshaping it to work as a standalone narrative short. I set it in the 1950s, an era often romanticized in many ways, to emphasize an initial feeling of sweetness and innocence, with something dark and disturbing lurking beneath the surface. This short screenplay, dealing with themes of vengeance, deception, and consent, uniquely blends 50s-era nostalgia with Lovecraftian horror.
