'Waning'

JERUMAI New York, New York

Casting and seeking crew for "Waning," a '90s queer romance short film. Logline: A young painter retreats into a dreamscape of faceless desire, until one summer night, the boy he keeps imagining takes the shape of someone real, and his dreamscape becomes a portrait of what he's too afraid to want.

"Waning" is a 13 to 15-minute queer arthouse short film set in 1990s New York City, adapted from the feature screenplay "Limerence." The film follows Silas, a painter, and Matto, a photographer, through an intimate, visually driven story about longing, identity, and the nature of limerence, the experience of being irresistibly drawn to what you need to find within yourself.
