So Shot
1m 40s
So Shot is a “feel good the hard way” story. Doug, a mid-20’s bartender, is dealing with the long-suppressed regret of breaking up with his first love, Abigail. After four humdrum years spent bantering with his co-worker buddies and cussing over Sunday football with his dad, Doug finds that his comfortable routine, formed more or less out of habit, is triggering the thought of his ex. No matter what he does, he can’t stop seeing her in his mind, forcing him to deal with the emotional fallout he’s buried for so long. At his breaking point, Doug finally admits to his co-workers, who have become more like brothers every day, that he screwed up. He has to be together with her again for his own sanity, but he hasn’t considered that she may be more sane without him. Through Doug’s story, the film explores the ache that comes from suffering caused by your own mistakes. Doug is deeply human and equally defensive of his flaws, but he learns that although he has to live with his decisions, regret doesn’t have to define what he and Abigail had. So Shot is for anyone who’s had to swallow the tough pill of regret, own their own mistakes, and find a way to move on.
