Mild Oaths tracks the life of Jesse Bessette over the course of several years as he attempts to balance his passion for dressing up like Batman with the responsibilities of taking care of his family.

The film was shot from 2022 - 2023, and premiered at the Vermont Film Festival in 2024. It is not currently available to watch online and will make up several sections of Index Drift 1, my ongoing anthology series. You can see a short clip from the film above.

This films was produced independently by myself. I’m still actively screening this film and would welcome any opportunities to do so. Get in touch if you would like to show it.
