Based on the info I've seen thus far I can't say I'm terribly excited about the film, but it's interesting to know that this local group has been filming in the region, and that you'll be able to soon see it in downtown Charleston.

The plot of "Gives" is described as "It's the summer before Michael leaves for college on a well-earned track scholarship. He's an accomplished athlete, a loving son, and a great friend. For Michael, life is about to change...but not in the ways he's expecting."

The Summerville Journal Scene has a story about the movie and its makers; read it here.

The 20-25 minute film is slated to debut Thursday, July 22, at The American Theater in downtown Charleston at 6:30, 7:30, and 8:30 p.m.
