ABOUT
“Nothing to Hide” is a dark comedy set over a single summer night on a boat in the suburban Midwest. Alana, a closeted queer woman living in NYC, returns to her hometown for her sister Sophie’s wedding. When a rowdy bachelorette party spirals out of control, buried family tensions surface. The sisters must confront the emotional costs of love, shame, and the pressure to belong in a family that doesn’t fully see them. With its undercurrent of absurd mythological humor, the film dances between cringe comedy and aching vulnerability in a pressure-cooker setting. Currently in development, the film will shoot in Minnesota Summer 2026.TEAM
