How Do You Capture Desire?

College student, Alex, makes quick friends with classmate Jay during his spring semester, but when Alex's platonic feelings grow to become something more - how will his relationship with Jay evolve?

How Do You Capture Desire is a graduate film by Saul Pena made during his last year at the California College of the Arts. It is an exploration of queer desire and friendship and the complexity of unspoken feelings and unrequited love. 

"Because you were right when you said that people can’t always give us what we want from them; that you can’t ask them to love you the way you want. No one can be blamed for that."
