A love letter to 80s pop culture that urges the audience to step into the spotlight rather than live as a background character in their own lives, Don’t You Forget About Me explores how the films and music of our childhood irrevocably shape our identity. As the "forgotten" sixth student from the iconic 1985 film nervously awaits his peers’ arrival at the 40-year high school reunion, he begins to relive the events of that iconic Saturday detention. Revisiting with fresh eyes and desperately trying to find his place in a narrative that left him behind, his trip down memory lane quickly spirals into an identity crisis as he reckons with the quiet desperation of wanting to be seen.
