"But I'm Trying..." follows a recent high school graduate determined to carve out a future in filmmaking without following the traditional college-to-9-to-5 path his parents strictly want him to avoid. Despite his efforts—writing scripts, editing videos, and applying for jobs—his mother only sees him wasting time, unable to recognize the work he’s putting in. As rejection emails pile up and pressure looms overhead, he struggles to prove that chasing his dream isn’t the same as doing nothing.
