Jason Genao, star on the Netflix series ‘The Get Down’ and ‘On My Block,’ leads the short comedy Physical Therapy as a cute young doctor faced with a difficult life decision.
Genao plays Ronnie, an openly gay doctor whose life takes an unexpected turn following an innocent mistake at work. Young and deeply compassionate, though somewhat naïve, he doesn’t let the incident deter him from getting back on his feet and doing what is right.
When he’s faced with a tricky ultimatum – keep his unstable job working with low-income communities or take a financially-attractive new job at a private practice for children of the mega-rich – he’s forced to reexamine his ideals and his future.
A passion project, Physical Therapy was created in an effort to celebrate the lives of brown, Latinx and LGBTQ+ health care and physiotherapy workers… whose stories have been, up to this point, largely invisible in Hollywood productions.
Watch a short trailer for Physical Therapy below. The film is now streaming on Dekkoo.
