HANDS

As Will and Nathan reflect on their first sexual experience together, a hidden trauma threatens to destroy their blossoming relationship and alter their lives forever. At the core of the story, this film is about the unspoken trauma and miscommunication that lies beneath the surface, which is what makes it so universal. Everyone, no matter sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, creed, etc., has gone through some sort of trauma that sticks with us, influencing our decisions and choices in friends and partners, but also inevitably creeps its way into influencing our everyday relationships.

Directed by Jon Bloch, HANDS leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Croix, Igby Rigney, Linc Hand — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
