Tomorrow
Posted on 27 December, 2020Ah – that high school crush on your best friend, questioning whether you are just close buddies – or perhaps something more. Add in the uncertainty of the future when you’re both seniors about to head off to college and a New Year’s Eve party to welcome in the new millennium, you’ve got the gist of “Tomorrow”! This coming of age queer short film is rather stunning to watch, a simple story that’s actually full…

Trans Films For Transgender Awareness Week
Posted on 1 November, 2021Historically in mainstream media, trans folks are added purely for comedy. However, it’s usually at the expense of being trans so it’s not actually funny and rather demeaning. Or, like others in the queer community, trans persons are used as the “victims” – especially in crime dramas where the cliche storyline is the trans person was killed after their john realised “she” is actually a “he”. Perhaps worse, they films aren’t actually trans films, just…

VGL-Hung!
Posted on 27 March, 2021A queer short film made by Eurocreme? (known for hardcore porn) Interesting! I started watching “VGL-Hung!” with intrigue and curiosity.

Were the World Mine
Posted on 17 June, 2020In “Were The World Mine”, Director/Writer Tom Gustafson takes his well-received short, “Fairies“, and expanded it into a feature length film that addresses the question: If you had a love-potion, who would you make fall madly in love with you? Additionally, he finally answers many of the questions we were left wondering from his short. Those answers are woven amid a retelling/twist of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and the magical world of fairies – except this…

You’ll Get Over It
Posted on 21 February, 2021French cinema is quite interesting, especially films made for TV. While the storylines sometimes feel a bit melodramatic, like a soap opera, french films also have a deeper philosophical depth that is quite refreshing. “You’ll Get Over It (À Cause d’un Garçon)” is a prime example of this cinematic style, part of the TV film series: Carnets d’ado. With a realistic script, director Fabrice Cazeneuve & writer Vincent Molina brought a sensitive subject to French primetime TV….

Your Eyes On Me
Posted on 20 October, 2020It can’t be easy to release a film when half the world is in various forms of lockdown, cinemas are closed, film festivals have gone online or postponed, and no one has worked on projects for half the year. It’s even more challenging when you’re an independent film trying to make your debut like Sergei Alexander. However, despite these extra hurdles, I feel like “Your Eyes On Me” will quickly gain traction – because it…
