Embers

By Tim Backes

Directed by Erica Case

Seven friends gather for a bonfire four years after their high school graduation. Most have just returned home from college; one never left. As the evening progresses, what was intended to be a nostalgic reunion of old friends turns into a fraught affair in which secrets are revealed and interpersonal tensions come to a head. Ultimately, each one must confront the changes in the dynamics of their friendships and the different directions in which life is pulling them.

EMBERS is a coming-of-age story for people already of age. It explores a moment of life when people are caught between looking back and moving forward, and confronts the thrills and agonies of diving into the unknown.
