While grieving over a death, Mika takes his older cousin, Kekoa, to haunted spots around Oʻahu to prove the existence of the afterlife. They discover that each handles loss in exceptionally different ways.

A man mutters to himself, checks his to-do list, introduces himself to old friends, and grasps for a memory that always slips away. A pig slowly roasts in an IMU pit, a birthday luau devolves into chaos and heartbreak when Ryan, a permanent scar on his head, finally remembers a glimpse of the accident that destroyed his memory to begin with.

Growing up and growing apart, and the rare moments when we try to grow back together. Give Yourself A Try is a minimalist short film, exploring loyalty, disappointment and the fragile resilience of friendship. Starring Mimi Ryder and Nyah Juliano.
