Olympia
Olympia Welles (McKenzie Chinn) has to make a choice. Her roommate has moved out, leaving her to cover rent on an apartment she can’t afford, her career as an artist has stalled before ever taking off, and her mother is sick in the hospital. Now, her oldest friend, and her boyfriend (Charles Andrew Gardner) too, are starting new careers that threaten to take them far away. On the cusp of 30, everything around Olympia is changing. Now she has to decide if she’s going to change with it, or get left behind.
