Shortie to Watch: ‘The Mess He Made’ with Max Jenkins

It’s hump day which means we are half way through the week. If you haven’t had your weekly cry, we’ve got you covered with this shortie to watch .

In The Mess He Made, queer filmmaker Matthew Puccini gets personal with this look into one man’s HIV rapid test.

“This is a film about queer rituals. This is a film about grappling with gay shame,” Puccini says. “[It’s] about a man who is terrified of winding up alone, but on some level thinks he deserves to be.”

It’s also a film where we see Max Jenkins emote all the sad faces.

Lit-er-ally feel the same way every time I run errands.

Here’s Max contemplating crying.

And now I’m crying, too.

The Mess He Made shot a week after the 2016 Presidential Election, adding plenty of motivation for Jenkins. In all seriousness, it’s virtually impossible not to empathize with this film. Pending test results on top of a bad day is brutal.
