Why it worked
Wesley turned a deeply personal and existential teen experience into a universally resonant cinematic time capsule. He blended a chaotic swirl of Gen Z humor, emotional honesty, and existential dread with polished direction and emotionally intelligent pacing. It’s beautifully disjointed, like memory itself—praised in comments as “felt like an entire movie.” A masterclass in making specificity feel universal.
