Them That’s Not

Directed by

Mekhai Lee

Orem Film Festival is proud to announce Them That’s Not as part of the official selection for OFF 2025. The film follows Drea, a down-on-her-luck poet navigating her grandmother’s passing among a distant family unwilling to bridge her world as a Deaf, queer artist. When her father, temporarily released from prison to say goodbye to his late mother, arrives at the gathering, Drea is forced to confront buried tensions and find connection.

Directed by Mekhai Lee, the film reflects his powerful, human-centered approach to storytelling. Them That’s Not is a tender exploration of family, identity, and reconciliation that will leave audiences moved. Join us September 24, 2025 at the Geneva Megaplex.
