Based on Jonathan Larson's award-winning Broadway musical, "Rent" chronicles a group of New York village artists struggling with identity and artistic integrity in an HIV-positive world. Roommates Roger and Mark, a songwriter-recovering addict and a guerrilla filmmaker, respectively, must find a way to pay their former roommate-turned-landlord when he decides to reneg on his promise to provide them rent-free living.

In the film, two outsiders, both shaped by the circumstances that have brought them together, forge a deep and lasting love. Director Gus Van Sant will present a take on friendship and young love as engaging and true as it is provocative and stirring.
