"GAZE" is a coming-of-age film that follows the story of Leyla, a black queer person who is struck between her own comfort and her relationships and connections to others. After a long estrangement from a past love, Ty, Leyla is forced to confront her feelings and ultimately decide if she will continue carrying the weight of her own loneliness, or if she can find solace in the presence of her former love. “GAZE” has been selected to screen in the BFI FLARE FILM FESTIVAL.
