This short film does a masterful job of unpacking the tension between personal identity and societal pressures, especially through the lens of toxic masculinity and homophobia.
Directed by Andy Blubaugh, The Adults in the Room is a deeply personal, hybrid film that blurs the line between documentary and dramatization. Through its unconventional structure and unflinching self-examination, the film interrogates power dynamics, personal agency, and the ways in which our understanding of past relationships evolves with time.
