SF IndieFest: Leads

Filmmaker expected for post-screening Q&A!

Leads follows Mags, an acting professor in a small Texas college town who’s barely holding her life together—single mom, debt piling up, aging out of her own artistic dreams. When her younger brother Merritt suddenly shows up and inserts himself into her acting class, her already fragile world is upended. He’s charming, magnetic, and a complete disaster, carrying the same unresolved family trauma she’s been burying for years. Their childhood wounds spill into the classroom as the students get caught in the emotional tug-of-war between them.
