A Single Evening

Synopsis:

A queer musical short film about dating and loneliness. Minnie, an annoyed and single bisexual woman, navigates her way through yet another lonely night while personified dating apps serenade her with songs about her inability to find love.

Quick Thoughts:

I discovered Writer/Director Ashlei Hardenburg-Cartagena‘s queer short film, “A Single Evening” through the 2020 Wicked Queer: Boston Film Festival. I absolutely LOVED this short! However, it wasn’t until I looked into her other films that I realized she was also the director of another film recommended to me from Mattioli Productions, Role of A Lifetime. While both films are powerful and great to watch, there’s something about “A Single Evening” that spoke to me on another level. Even if you are not a fan of musicals, the way that Writer/Director Ashlei Hardenburg-Cartagena personifies the annoying barrage from dating apps makes this queer short film worth watching. Thankfully, you can stream “A Single Evening” over on Fearless, stream it on Amazon Prime, or even watch it on Plex! So take fifteen minutes and go watch this brilliant short – I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do!
