Experiencing Interruptions?

Through The Cracks

Some cracks break you. Others let the light in.

Eli has spent his life slipping through the cracks—hiding in shadows, surviving a home that feels more like a battlefield. But when his only escape—his poetry—sparks an unexpected connection, he’s forced to face a truth he’s been running from: the darkness doesn’t get the final say.

Through the Cracks is a raw, gripping short film about abuse, resilience, and finding light in the most broken places. With powerful storytelling and deeply emotional performances, this film challenges the idea of what it truly means to survive vs. live.
