You're Not There

An Indy gem with lead and supporting performances beautifully crafted and directed by S. J. Creazzo. Two grad students researching psychoactive drugs feel a strong attraction to each other- but what appears to be fodder for a NYC romcom deftly morphs into an exploration of their shockingly traumatized pasts. Slowly overcoming their reluctance to share their pain and vulnerability, their backstories are told in flashbacks. Supporting roles are handled with just the right vibe. Check out the song over the closing credits, an original by producer Justy Kosek, sung by the Gospel and R&B great Carol Dennis-Dylan.
