Love or hate can change anyone's behavior.
Gerard is struggling for acceptance. In an America loaded with weapons, being rejected for who you are can have destructive consequences..
This film is about choices too. Consequences can be dire or not, you are the master of your actions.

The photographer won a Merit Award
Christophe co-directed 2 films a few years ago, was an assistant director in Breakfast for Karen (2017) and directed The Photographer (2017).
Christophe just finished directing Triggered a 12mn film about rejection and consequences. Gerard is striving for acceptance, and will finally come out as a gay man. But being a gay man in America comes with a price. The abundance of weapons in the US is one of the issues that this movie is about.
We all know rejection, this is part of life. We all deal well with it most of the time.
But what happens when you are constantly attacked and rejected for being who you are in your very core.
Gerard Hill, our lead, was forced to pretend to be someone he is not his all life. So when he comes out as a gay man, his balance is tempered with and rejection could have destructive consequences.
