    White Male

    "Incisive and unflinching, White Male disturbs with its timely vision of an identity shaped wholly by resentment and rage. Set against real-life audio from a Columbine High School shooting 911 call, this experimental narrative short observes an anonymous young man succumbing to his destructive impulses."
