Third, a new short film written & directed by @sam.permar — coming this year.

I’m so excited to share this one with the world. Third is a harrowing ride, and as we’re approaching the end of post production I wanted to give a little taste of what’s to come.

College student Caleb plans a romantic night to ask Tom to be his boyfriend. But when Caleb arrives at Tom’s apartment, there’s already another man there–and Tom’s plan for the evening turns Caleb’s world upside down.
