Frank’s first feature film is a tense, spare, and lean drama of a young couple's relationship after the wife has been raped by an intruder. Filmed in claustrophobic closeups and unflinching long takes, it displays the isolation of a couple bound by love, but torn by circumstance.  HOLD, written by Robby Storey, investigates the frailty of the hero complex and exposes the vulnerability that masculinity sometimes masks too well in the face of tragedy. Mr. Storey and Stephanie Rhodes lead an all-star cast that includes Jodie Moore, Andrew Sensenig, Jeri Smith, Steven Markel, John Elliott, Reece Rios, and Arianne Martin.
