GO REST YOUNG MAN
Director: Aiden Harbaum
Runtime: 16:25
James, a lonely clerk clinging to cowboy fantasies, is stuck between his father’s gambling addiction and the slow, fluorescent death of their family business. As his Wild West daydreams crumble into trash-strewn nightmares, he meets a sinister Man in Black — a tempter who offers him a way out. No more rules. Just take what’s yours, and ride free.
INTERGALACTIC INGENUE
Director: Nathan Deshawn Bouie
Runtime: 19:33:00
On the night he’s supposed to integrate with his Hive-mind alien girlfriend, James, a man with deep commitment issues, discovers his ex is also dating the same Hivemind.
KITTY
Directors: Lizzie Hart & James Newman
Runtime: 14:37:00
Neurodivergent Kitty, lover of trinkets and Kate Bush, finds her favourite jumper ruined and must find a replacement. When the perfect jumper seems unattainable, she’s left with one choice: sell her precious collections, or risk losing the jumper forever.
MONES
Director: Zackary Drucker
Runtime: 12:01:00
Cici, a trans woman, confronts her gender dysphoria at her younger brother Teddy’s fraternity during a historic Pride party/drag show she put together with her best friends. As the drag performers, frat boys, and queers mingle, Cici has a romantic encounter with a familiar young man that leads to her overcoming her mental hurdles around being a woman. Ultimately, she learns the universal truth of womanhood… sometimes your titties just hurt! A high energy comedy that explores questions of identity.
