Closet Monster follows Oscar Madly, a creative and sexually confused teenager living in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Résumé
Closet Monster is a semi-autobiographical drama directed by Stephen Dunn in 2015. The film explores themes of bullying, sexual identity, and self-discovery through the lens of its protagonist, Oscar Madly, played by Connor Jessup. Set against the backdrop of Newfoundland and Labrador, the story underscores the struggles of LGBTQ+ youth in dealing with isolation and rejection. Dunn's unique approach, featuring an animal spirit guide named Buffy, adds a fantastical element to the otherwise grounded narrative.
