Waiting For Beckett
Available to watch now on YouTube
Synopsis
Waiting for Beckett follows a teen boy, Danny, in the hospital waiting room after his brother, Beckett, has been diagnosed with AIDS. In the room with Danny is his homophobic and desperate father, and Beckett’s outspoken, yet secret, boyfriend. Tensions arise while the three are trapped in the waiting room, awaiting a chance to visit Beckett.
It’s raw, gripping, and heartbreaking, but all about family and the idea of coming together in a time when everything seems to be in shambles.
