The main character in this Academy Award hopeful has incredibly vivid and poetic thoughts. But when he tries to express them verbally, he runs into trouble.

In the Oscar nominated live action short Stutterer, a young man named Greenwood lives with the titular speech impediment.

In his head, the words come out just fine ... he just can't say them out loud.

There's his dad and a girlfriend he only communicates with online.

That's until she tells Greenwood she'd like to meet. In person.

Stutterer is set in London and was written and directed by Benjamin Cleary.

Take Two's A Martinez sat down with the director, along with  producers Shan Christopher Oglive and Serena Armitige.
