RELEASING NOVEMBER 2024

SOMETHING CLOSE
TO NOTHING

SOMETHING CLOSE TO NOTHING follows one gay couple starting a family through surrogacy: Jared Cahill, who is already making plans for a second child, and Wynn Kang, who daydreams of bailing to become a hip-hop dancer. When Wynn flees the airport and leaves Jared to board a flight to Cambodia and meet their daughter alone, comedy and tragedy ensue.

Told in alternating points of view, Wynn and Jared explore the dark side of the very American idea of following one’s dreams, whether it be pursuing a career in dance or having a biological child as a gay man, a la Andy Cohen, and Anderson Cooper. Along their messy tragi-comic journey, unresolved issues of race, identity, and privilege haunt them, pulling at the loose threads of their fantasies and raising the question of whether they will ultimately face themselves and grow up.
