Franklin

Directed by Donta Morrison

Franklin Scott is a gay adult entertainer whose work in the industry casts a long shadow over his aspirations of Hollywood stardom. Despite his charisma and ambition, he finds doors repeatedly closing in his face. As he struggles with rejection—from family, from the mainstream entertainment world, and from a society quick to judge—Franklin forms an unexpected personal connection that becomes both a lifeline and a catalyst for change. This bond forces him to confront the hidden trauma he's carried, face painful truths about himself and those closest to him, and reckon with a world that seldom sees—let alone accepts—his full humanity .
