+ AFTER PARTY
Set in the world of amateur bodybuilding, the film follows small-town 
dreamer Eddie (Brock Yurich, also making his feature screenwriting 
debut) as he pursues his obsession with physical perfection and 
a future in competitive bodybuilding. Living with his emotionally 
demanding mother (Tony nominee Tammy Blanchard) and working as 
a cam model to support his training, he channels his emotional turmoil 
into relentless discipline of the body. When he begins working with a 
trusted coach Mike (Mike Edward) and reconnects with an old love 
(Paloma Garcia-Lee), Eddie starts to imagine a more hopeful future. 
But his focus is thrown off course by an unexpected queer awakening that destabilizes everything he 
thought he knew about himself. Burdened by religious guilt and the influence of his pastor 
(Matthew Morrison of Glee), alongside his mother’s struggles, Eddie must reconcile ambition with 
emotional truth as he approaches his most important competition yet.
