Diabetes in ‘Quarter’: Kelsey Bascom Film Trailer
The world of independent cinema is buzzing with new stories, and one title is set to offer an intimate, honest look at the complexities of life, identity, and managing chronic health: Quarter>.
The film, Quarter>, which has been officially unveiled by Chemical Soup, is a coming-of-age comedy-drama slated to arrive in limited US theaters this November.

It is a reflection on learning to overcome obstacles, not just in health, but in the everyday decisions that shape one’s life.
The film promises a rich tapestry of human experience, supported by an impressive ensemble cast.
