Preston Choi

Change… by any means necessary.

This raucous dark comedy by rising star Preston Choi puts teens at the helm of a revolution. A queer trio’s escape plan from a conversion camp takes a left turn as they face off against a straight-laced counselor with an unusual sadistic streak. limp wrist on the lever questions the necessity of violence and the paradox of tolerance, with the ever-present doubt: how can you ever be sure you’ve really changed someone’s mind?
