The Things You Think I’m Thinking

Directed by Sherren Lee

A black male burn survivor and amputee embarks on his first date with a non-disabled man since his accident.
The Things You Think I’m Thinking is an exceptionally compassionate gay short film about a burn survivor and amputee confronting intimacy after years of believing his body makes him undesirable. Sherren Lee handles disability, sex and insecurity with remarkable honesty, while Prince Amponsah gives Sean enormous warmth and emotional complexity. The film’s greatest strength is refusing to reduce him to either tragedy or inspiration.
