SIX FEET APART (2022)

written by Isaac Gomez
directed by Monty Cole

In El Paso, SON stands in the shower, his cinnamon skin glistening, as he prepares for his father's funeral. Memories floor into his head of the rocky relationship between a gay latinx man and his religious dad, as he journeys to a funeral in the times of Covid.

Monty says, “When Isaac and I sat down to figure out what stories we wanted to tell, we remembered the time that I spoke at my dad’s memorial service. As Isaac watch me bawl my eyes out in front of a congregation, he wondered what it would be like to say goodbye to his own father. Between Whole and Six Feet Apart, we shot these two films in our childhood homes and the emotion on set every day was palpable. I’m endlessly thankful to him for allowing me to help tell his story.”
