| TITLE: TAKE-OUT | ||||||||||
| DIRECTOR: Jean-François Monette | ||||||||||
| PRODUCER: Bare Bone Films Inc. | ||||||||||
| SYNOPSIS: In this
coming of age tale, Rory is a typical high school student — he runs
track, smokes up and has a lousy after-school job. His career so far consists
of delivering chicken to suburbanites. Excitement at work is limited to
exchanges between his teasing co-worker and hungry, grunting suburbanites. |
||||||||||
On a delivery like
any other, Rory meets Pete, a middle-aged man in the midst of a breakdown.
Fascinated by Pete’s material trappings of success and intrigued
by the source of his breakdown, Rory is drawn into a friendship with him.
Their platonic friendship proves to be a catalyst: Rory’s sexuality
forces him to reconsider his small world as his curiosity propels him
to take a risk. |
||||||||||
TAKE-OUT explores
the challenging, heady and painful process of a teen’s understanding
of the very core of his being — his own sexuality. |
