Short Film Spotlight: The Least Untrue

From writer-director Gabriel Shanks, The Least Untrue is a 15-minute drama about two gay men who meet under very unusual circumstances.

Nicholas Michaels stars as Caleb, a young guy with “closeted movie star” good looks who is headed to his boyfriend Ben’s apartment. As Ben is gone, picking up take-out for the two of them, Caleb lets himself inside using a spare key from under the doormat.

He gets a major surprise when the next person to walk through the door is not Ben, but Ethan… Ben’s husband, played by Nathanial P. Claridad.

Realizing they’ve both been duped by the same man, the pair begin to stew in the awkward and sometimes hostile energy of the room. After sharing some basic information – and a violent revenge fantasy involving a particularly spiky paperweight – they begin to discuss Ben’s weakness for good kissers… and that’s when things take an even more unexpected turn.

Watch a short trailer for The Least Untrue below. The full short is now streaming on Dekkoo.
