The first film from Strap Limit Productions.

The Most Honest Thing In The Room is a warm, character-driven dramedy exploring identity, vulnerability, approval, and human connection. What begins as a small act of compassion evolves into an unexpected relationship that challenges two people to stop performing for the world around them and risk being seen as they truly are.
