Closet Monster (2015, Canada, dir. Stephen Dunn)
Connor Jessup (Falling Skies) stars in this coming-of-age adventure as Oscar Madly, a creative and driven teenager who hovers on the brink of adulthood.

With the help of his talking pet hamster, Buffy, voiced by Isabella Rossellini (Blue Velvet), he embarks on a journey of self-discovery.
When he falls for the new boy at work, the mysterious and elusive Wilder (Aliocha Schneider), Oscar’s world turns on its head. Catapulting into a charged world of fantasia and duress, only his imagination and the prospect of love can ultimately bring him closer to confronting his inner monster.
