Overcome by abuse, a teenage black boy is forced to choose between pulling the trigger or not in an effort to protect himself. In turn, we are split between two realities of fate - the dream or a dream deferred.

When a newly famous music producer visits his hometown, he battles the guilt of abandoning his past and the bitterness of an old friend.

In an homage to everything 1990's, TEA asks the audience to take a step back to simpler times; where the summer days were long, the cool kids were terrifying, and saying "Hi" to the girl of your dreams was beyond insurmountable.

Through the eyes of Nicholaus Steep (played by Michael Gandolfini), we watch the tenderness and bravery of a young man who is doing all he can just to connect with someone. When bad luck turns worse, will the girl of his dreams be able to save his life?

The goal of Tea is simple; two lost souls desperate for connection.

With awkward laughs mashed into danger, and of course - buzz worthy tenderness - I hope you enjoy the film as much as we loved making It.
