Are you ready for a little mood adjustment? We have the right prescription: eight uplifting small doses of joy are just what the doctor ordered, in this year’s collection of heartwarming and giggle-inducing short films that go down easy.
We start with a film industry satire: a picky Hollywood bedmate delivers detailed post-coital feedback in Matt & Dan: Sex Notes. When cutie pie Carson gets rejected for being too Femme, he embarks on a hilarious journey of self-examination, featuring Drag Race’s Aja as a fairy godmother.
Don’t Fuck with England is a punishing lesson in British diction, while Bad Friend is a catchy music video about two queer and fabulous friends who have a falling out, only to re-meet 25 years later (don’t miss the cameo from Mx Justin Vivian Bond!). In The Fix, a mild-mannered fast-food worker seeks out a controversial cure for his oral obsession, and in his stand-up Routine, comedian Dwayne shares a dating experience that reveals quite a bit about his new community. Manivald is a shy 33-year-old fox still living at home with his overbearing fox mom, who both get very interested in a hunky wolf plumber. Finally, Josh has something important to tell his lifelong friend Andy on a hike to the High Rocks.
Luna and Blaze, two queer and fabulous friends, have a falling out in 1996 and take 25 years to make up, in this upbeat, narratively propelled music video for the song "Bad Friend" by Cheese On Bread, featuring cameos by Mx Justin Vivian Bond and director Stephen Winter.
