TEST

In the intensely physical world of competitive bodybuilding, Test turns one man’s pursuit of the perfect body into a raw exploration of masculinity, desire and identity. Sexy, provocative and deeply human, Sam McConnell’s drama asks what happens when the life you’ve worked so hard to build collides with a truth you can no longer suppress.

Small-town bodybuilder Eddie (writer/star Brock Yurich) is determined to transform years of discipline and sacrifice into a professional career. Living with his demanding mother (Tony nominee Tammy Blanchard), working as a cam model and pushing his body toward its limits, Eddie finds new momentum with the help of an experienced coach and the possibility of a promising future—until an unexpected queer awakening challenges everything he thought he knew about himself.

Caught between his ambitions, a rekindled romance and the religious expectations reinforced by his pastor (Matthew Morrison), Eddie must decide whether perfection means becoming the man others expect him to be—or finally accepting the man he is. Gritty, sensual and emotionally charged, Test takes the familiar sports drama in an unexpected queer direction, confronting rigid ideas of masculinity while exploring the complicated relationship between body, faith and desire.

As his most important competition approaches, the discipline that once gave Eddie purpose begins to collide with emotions he can no longer control. What emerges is an intimate character study about the courage it takes to look beyond the image in the mirror and confront who you truly are.
