ABOUT PORTAL
A closeted pastor encounters an alternate version of himself who is openly gay. When this alternate version wants to meet the pastor's biological daughter, conflict ensues. The pastor must prevent this meeting at all costs to avoid his perfectly constructed life from falling apart.
"Beautiful, heartbreaking, powerful, hopeful."
"Thought-provoking. Beautifully empathetic."
ABOUT BLANK SPACE
