Almost Adults

Mackenzie (Elise Bauman) and Cassie (Natasha Negovanlis), the best of besties, don't have a single secret between them as they enter their final year as college roommates. Okay, except one...a big one. Even though everyone else knows that Mackenzie is a lesbian and is almost obnoxiously supportive of her (including her uber liberal parents), when she finally decides to come out, Cassie isn't on her need to know list. That's because Cassie has her own list of problems to deal with: breaking up with her boyfriend and failing her must-pass English class. But at the urging of her inner circle, including her snarky but hot best gay friend Levi (Justin Gerhard), Mackenzie strategizes to find the perfect moment to break not only the truth to Cassie, but also to reveal that she's taken up with a super cute lesbian baseball player. This delightful, "platonic rom-com" delights from the get go. (Chicago Reeling Film Fest)
