Before We Begin (2024)
Plot: Olivia is a young abstract artist living in Boston who finds herself at a quiet crossroads. As she prepares for a life-changing move to Manhattan with her intense roommate, Izzy, she meets Phillip, a "peculiar" and introspective PhD philosophy student. Their chance connection sparks a series of deep, rambling conversations that force Olivia to evaluate her true desires—both in her art and her personal life. The film explores the "quarter-life crisis" of transient young adults who treat their surroundings as mere way stations, highlighting the tension between the comfort of the present and the ambition of the future.
