VERMONT PREMIERE
Simmer is a 15-minute narrative drama concerning a young, black high school student Carter Williams. Although his English teacher pushes him to get involved in a poetry showcase and develop his talents, a racist bully and an avoidant father operate against him. Over the course of the story, the conflict blends both real and imagined spaces parallel to Carter’s evolution from repression to expression. [A part of the MNFF10 College Student Shorts Showcase 1.]
