On Merit

Directed by Demedrius Charles

The bond between two gay best friends is compromised when one of them uses his relationship to advance his dance career.
On Merit is a serious drama about ambition, identity and the social judgments that determine whose achievements are recognised. Demedrius Charles keeps the story grounded, and the film’s strongest moments come from the tension between personal worth and external validation.
