Fun in Boys Shorts

Hungry for a laugh? Dig in to Frameline’s all-new smorgasbord of short comic treats and feel-good bonbons. This year’s lineup of light-hearted short films features wicked send-ups of hookup apps, a (literal) ferry queen (co-starring Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Rachel Dratch), a trip to Italy, and two bears. We promise you won’t go home hungry. (Oh right, you’re already home!)
