Coming of Age

A sharp, funny, and big-hearted rom-com about a theater kid chasing the fantasy of love, The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King shines brightest when it lets its drama king grow beyond the script he’s written for himself.

A lyrical, quietly powerful story of first love and longing, Lie With Me traces the fragile beauty of a hidden romance and the ache it leaves behind across a lifetime.

A tender, poetic coming-of-age that sees gayness through the lens of vulnerability and cultural identity. Sáenz's lyrical prose elevates what could be a simple story into something achingly beautiful—even when it occasionally prioritizes introspection over action.
