We, the producers of A Tough Pill to Swallow, are raising money for this short film project:
“A pill a day takes the gay away.”
One kiss shatters 25-year old Skye's carefully constructed facade. In a desperate spiral to bury the truth she can't face, she swallows Heteropresynol's false promise of "heterosexuality" in a pill bottle. Faced with the drug’s consequences, Skye must now decide between conformity and authenticity in a gripping journey of self-acceptance that could change everything.
*Heteropresynol may evoke familiarization with the true world around you. Serious side effects may include stroke, heart attack, compulsive crying, stomach tears, severe cramps, chest pain, heart palpitations, nausea, vomiting, and death.
