Synopsis

A day at a group home for troubled adolescents. Denim is the head counselor, involved somehow with Natalia, another counselor. During the day, we watch them and other staff deal with a boy who's getting into fights though he has only a week to go before his 18th birthday, a girl whose birthday it is, a foul-mouthed lad, and others. Denim uses music to calm one youth, orients a new staff member, sneaks a marijuana cigarette during a break, and by the day's end, talks to Natalia. Do any of us have it together?

Short Term 12 (2008) is a 22 min drama short film by Destin Daniel Cretton. A day at a group home for troubled adolescents. Selected for Bolton International Film Festival (2022).
