December is a short film drawn from a larger story the director has been developing over several years. Rather than attempting to contain a full narrative, the film isolates a single moment — one night and one morning — where tenderness gives way to expectation.

Set during a winter hunting trip in rural Georgia, the film traces the quiet closeness between Moe and Charlotte, shaped by the weight of what’s expected of them. It focuses less on exposition and more on sensation: cold air, shared breath, ritual, and the unease of being asked to become someone before you’re ready.T

he short is not intended as a complete statement, but as a fragment — a study of ritual and consequence. It exists within a larger world that continues beyond the frame, where relationships deepen, histories surface, and the costs of silence accumulate. The feature expands this world, but the short holds its center: a moment that can’t be taken back, where tenderness is lost.
