Narrative short, 15:00
On the last day of school, students at Angel High are focused on finishing exams and starting summer, but beneath the surface, something is off. Sullivan, a quiet and overlooked teen, moves through the day, carrying pain that no one has taken the time to notice. When Prince, a Black student, witnesses something alarming, he speaks up. But instead of being heard, he’s dismissed.
As time runs out, a tragic chain of events unfolds, exposing the consequences of bias, silence, and missed warning signs. Finals is a powerful look at who we choose to see, who we ignore, and what happens when it’s already too late.
