Chasing Sunsets

Chasing Sunsets

Two hearts, Mia and Ethan, seem tied in a gentle dance of unwritten emotions. Each a senior in high school, they are the right kind of people for each other, yet the timing seems all wrong. Watered by the scarred remnants of their past relationships in terms of betrayals, heartbreaks, and sacrifices, they drag around the weight of their respective traumas like the shadows that haunt their now-blossoming attraction.

With fear holding them back, Mia and Ethan steal the occasional glance at one another as they navigate the intricacies of their last year. Both are desperate to confess their love for each other but are paralyzed by fear, allowing memories of former lovers to defeat them and fear to keep them from embracing this possibility of love. They don't know whether opening their hearts will lead them to a lovely relationship or will bring more hurt.

Set against breathtaking sunsets of both hope and heartache, "Chasing Sunsets" traces a struggle in balance between the needs for openness and self-protection. Through their days moving to deeper feeling for each other, Mia and Ethan come to need the courage to find out which option is easier-love, with all its terror of hurt; or silence, its safety without. Will they find the strength to bridge the gap between their hearts, or will their love remain misaligned, forever chasing sunsets that seem just out of reach?
