Spring 2024 Those Who
Wait is a poetic retelling of the Millerite doomsday movement that swept
across America in the 1840s. The film follows the town of Portland,
Maine as its residents navigate waves of apocalyptic prophecy and
disappointment. Mixing the genres of historic re-enactment with
fantastic parable, this queer gaze into the colonial past explores the
powers and perils of "believing it's over."
