WALLS

"hey, so i'm gonna be in duluth this thursday"
"got this cabin a few miles out, gonna crash there after the gig"
"wanna meet up after?"

21 year old Ben Tackett rides shotgun in Matty Ackerman's minivan.

They're driving to a remote lakeside cabin for a night of intimacy; planned over the past week via texts.

Ben is a lonely yet perceptive small town chipmunk who is finally comfortable with his sexuality.

Matty is an extroverted, witty black bear from the Twin Cities.

He's also the vocalist and rhythm guitarist in a hardcore band that Ben is a fan of.

They can't wait to finally spend time together in person.

They even brought all their personal baggage along.

They don't realize it.

WALLS is a short, small-scale story about love, the mistakes we make and the people we push away when we seek it, as well as the importance of taking responsibility for yourself.
