Genevieve is getting ready to graduate high school a year after her boyfriend, Tyler, dies from gun violence. As she struggles to push herself forward, a connection with Tyler’s best friend, Ben, pulls her back to reality, but their relationship takes a turn as their grief begins to resurface. Meanwhile, Tyler’s father, John, finds himself losing composure as his son’s class moves past the tragic event that took his son’s life. As the three of them navigate how to come to terms with their loss, they find hope in each other and the community that surrounds them. The first release from The Future of Film is Female, executive produced by Chloé Zhao (NOMADLAND) and John Cho (COLUMBUS).
The Graduates will be preceded by a local short film to be announced
