Mass for Shut-Ins

Directed by Winston DeGiobbi

With Charles William McKenzie, Joey Lee MacLean, Stephen Melanson, John Lancleve and Zailynne Durant

Twentysomething Kay Jay sleeps on his grandfather Loppers’ couch. The computer’s on the fritz and there’s not much of anything to do; there’s a lot of sitting around, eating 5-cent candies and drinking pop. Bored, Kay Jay plays with fire, aimlessly wanders through the night, encounters strangers and gets hassled by September, his aggro delinquent brother. Chained to a life of co-dependency, he passively navigates his isolated existence—but you can see the desire to escape in his eyes.
