Exposure follows Blake, a closeted 19-year-old athlete growing up in a conservative household, who is drawn into the orbit of William, a magnetic and more experienced young man. During a night inside a leather bar, the anonymity of a pup hood allows Blake to experience desire, confidence, and belonging without the fear of being recognized. But when his private awakening begins to collide with the life he has worked to protect, Blake is forced into an unexpected confrontation at home, one that uncovers a buried family truth and changes his understanding of what it means to come out. Exposure is an intimate, atmospheric queer coming-of-age drama exploring identity, secrecy, first love, inherited shame, and the complicated bond between a mother and her son. The full screenplay will be shared privately with selected actors following the initial submission review.
