Shoot Your Shot
An emotional stand-off takes flight, as teen best friends Ronit and Brennan come to terms with navigating that fuzzy feeling in their stomachs, all whilst learning to skateboard.
Overview
Ronit and Brennan are best friends. When Ronit calls up Brennan to practising his netball skills together, Brennan reluctantly agrees meet at the local skatepark. Frustrated, he kicks his netball away but it ricochets off a netball hoop and shoots off into the sky at a physics-defying speed.
Shoot Your Shot is presented as part of Too Desi, Too Queer, a selection of LGBTIQ+ short films curated by Bagri Foundation London Indian Film Festival.
