DV-130 – Short Film | Director, Writer, Editor

A DV-130 is a domestic violence restraining order, usually ending at 18 years old.

We follow Josiah on his 18th birthday as he wakes up to an email from his dad, someone he wasn't allowed to speak to until now. With this lingering decision to respond, his day unravels when Esteban, a kid he's tutoring, seems to be entering the same situation he's now exiting.
