Homegrown: Perfect Day

The coast is totally queer and full of talent! From The Town to The City, from animation to documentary, join us as we celebrate these Bay Area stories from Bay Area makers. Strangers meet and change each other forever, queer art thrives, Black joy is expressed through dance, and a puppet’s thirst for love is quenched. A reminder that creativity is hella Bay.

Short films showing in this program:

Chaac + Yum
