​Directed by Mishaal Memon, this 12-minute short is an intimate portrayal of teenage friendship and the awkward, tender struggle of communicating deep emotional feelings. The story centers on two best friends, Ronit and Brennan, during a sweltering summer.

• ​Ronit is dealing with an intense crush on a boy named Mike and is agonizing over whether it’s too late to confess his feelings—to literally “shoot his shot.”
• ​Brennan is confused by the entire spectrum of “fuzzy feelings,” grappling with his own understanding of emotions and masculinity, especially within the context of their immigrant backgrounds.

​Set over the course of a single afternoon, the film beautifully captures the delicate balance of their relationship as they try to reach a shared “emotional support page.” It is a coming-of-age narrative that explores the unspoken language and evolving dynamics between young men, proving that even uncomfortable and uncertain moments can inevitably “end in love,” whether romantic or platonic.

​Shoot Your Shot is a small-scale gem that delivers big emotions, earning praise for its authentic dialogue, compelling characters, and sensitive handling of themes like identity and vulnerability.
