Short Films, 09-Sep-2026
Two men reunite, struggling to reconcile past trauma. Roy Gentes and Sean Hucknall direct “Scars on his Wall,” an experimental drama desperately trying to make sense of an assault and seeking normality in the aftermath. The two men meet in a decrepit building. One paces around the room anxiously while the other, more boyish, manages to try and listen. Neither directly confronts what happened. It remains unclear. Nonetheless, one convinces the other to make-up, justifying it as a final farewell. A crude feeling of violence lingers. It’s an unnerving confrontation of sexual assault. There’s a sharp ricketiness to it all, further enhanced by grain, saturated colors, trebling audio, and angsty performances. -JM. Directors: Roy Gentes, Sean Hucknall.
