Scraps

About This Movie

So, 'Scraps' is set in 2003 Montana—kind of a raw, small-town vibe, you know? It dives into the lives of these two closeted teens who are navigating their feelings amidst some pretty harsh judgment from their peers. The pacing is a bit slow at times, but that really lets you sink into their world, feel the tension, and the awkwardness of first love. They’re making handmade boards for some skaters, which adds this unique layer of craftsmanship to the story. The performances, while maybe not award-winning, feel sincere, capturing the uncertainty of youth. There's a realness to it all, and it just hit me differently, maybe because of the rural backdrop and the themes of love and acceptance.
