ÉNOUEMENT is a short film set in New York City following Jen, a recent college grad and career-driven amateur navigating the film industry, as she struggles to balance her career and caring for her grandfather with dementia.

Amidst the chaos of her demanding job, Jen is called home to watch her grandfather. What starts as a light-hearted bonding moment between Jen and Grandpa quickly escalates as Jen juggles fixing a work mistake and managing Grandpa’s disruptive behavior.

Frustration peaks when Jen yells at her grandfather, only to later discover a heartfelt letter he wrote, revealing his true feelings. This poignant moment forces Jen to reconcile her emotions and reevaluate her priorities.
