Gutters

Still from "Gutters".

“GUTTERS” is a story about siblings Meredith and Theo, who are trying to be independent without each other. Theo wants to feel like he’s good enough, while Meredith struggles if she should take the opportunity to become great. It all culminates in a middle school bowling tryout, where Theo and Meredith’s bond is put to the test.

"This story comes from my lifelong issues with anxiety, and especially the anxiety of feeling abandoned. In the story, Theo and Meredith both navigate the complex relationship between trust and abandonment. They have to learn to trust each other — even though abandonment is inevitable. In the end, I want the audience to understand what it feels like to trust yourself and know who you can be — both when you feel like you’re failing, like you’re slipping away, and when you’re gliding across a stage." - William Beachum, writer/director of "Gutters".
