At Last
Posted on 20 February, 2021Ah, Senior Prom. A night that many LGBTQ folks either loved because they could fully express themselves, or they dreaded. For Lauren, it’s actually both! Despite going with her best friend “Flash”, she actually changes into a tux and meets up with her crush – Sam. But the two girls sharing their first kiss is not the only dramatic twist of this queer short! Read on to find out more, as well as find out…

Billy’s Dad Is A Fudge-Packer!
Posted on 30 January, 2021Do you enjoy sexual innuendos? How about a parody of 1950’s education films? Black & white films? All of these things can be found in “Billy’s Dad Is A Fudge-Packer!” In her first non-acting effort, writer/director Jamie Donahue parodies the 1950’s “Jimmy Goes To School” educational films to create this hysterical queer short film. But not everyone views it with such adoration. Is it dated? Misogynist? A bit “over the top”? Absolutely – and that’s…

Blame It On Toby
Posted on 31 October, 2020[“Blame It On Toby” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] Giving off a R.L. Stein Goosebumps vibe, “Blame It On Toby” is both a freaky horror short film and very well pieced together that leaves you unable to turn away until it’s too late! Writer/Director Richard Knight Jr. actually created this horror short film to kick off an…

A Boy Named Noel
Posted on 20 December, 2021[“A Boy Named Noel” is the first short of my “7 Queer Christmas Shorts for 2021” post. To read the next review, “The Postie”, click HERE.] The first Queer Christmas Short to kick of my 2021 reviews is a rather interesting one. Created awhile back by the German YouTube channel, QueerBlick, it’s one of their many short films. “A Boy Named Noel” doesn’t say much, but takes us on a journey that most of us…

The Butch Who Stole Christmas
Posted on 3 December, 2022[“The Butch Who Stole Christmas” is the first film of my “5 Queer Holiday Shorts for 2022” post. To read the next review, “Xmas Eve Eve”, click HERE.] Not to be confused with VH1’s queer Christmas film, “The Butch Who Stole Christmas” is one of my interesting finds this year. This queer holiday short film from Amanda Holland’s YouTube channel, Girl Ship TV, is a lesbian parody on the iconic animated film “How The Grinch…

Caught
Posted on 10 June, 2020Based on actual events – those words always add a certain level to any film or short. In this case, “Caught” is a short film by Monte Patterson that captures the essence of the 1962 Mansfield, Ohio Police Department sting operation. While the location is different to that case, this short examines and mimics how similar operations were carried out – and still are. “Caught” is a brilliant short that treads the fine line between…

Clay Pride: Being Clay In America
Posted on 6 February, 2021While an older short, “Clay Pride: Being Clay In America” was added to my list of queer shorts to review because it’s not only quite poignant, but it stands out because it’s done with claymation. The entire queer short is a metaphor for being gay. It shows how is has not been easy to be clay throughout history and having to face the ostracisation and homophobia from the normal plasticine community. While the story is…

Cleanse
Posted on 31 October, 2020[“Cleanse” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] Unlike the other films in Out on Film Festival’s “Horror Shorts for Halloween”, this short film from 2019 had very little information. Other than a very short teaser and imagery of crystals, I didn’t know much else. After watching “Cleanse” – I STILL don’t know much about this short….

Conversion Therapist
Posted on 31 October, 2020[“Conversion Therapist” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] I’m on the fence about “Conversion Therapist”. On one hand it feels like they are trying to include any and every little queer bit they can think of into what should be a simple abduction/torture storyline. It ended up suffering from having too much happening that the strong…

Dama Branca
Posted on 31 October, 2020[“Dama Branca” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] Short, “sweet”, and to the point – that’s how I like my short films. Of course, when they’re a horror short film, I also want some blood, ghouls, or terror. “Dama Branca” includes all of that – in just five minutes! During a conversation with director and star,…

DannyBOY
Posted on 10 January, 2021Right before the Christmas film rush began, I was asked by Rosh to review her debut short film “DannyBOY”. Now that the holiday craziness is over, I was able to catch up and dive right into some awesome Queer Shorts. And boy does “DannyBOY” deliver! Just from the trailer alone, it’s clear that we’re in for a thriller-esque ride. While the ending is quite captivating, unfortunately there are other bits and pieces that pulled my…

The Date
Posted on 16 January, 2021Ah, that first date – finally meeting that special person you’ve been flirting with for the first time. There’s a hint of caution and unease, however when things go well the fade away into an enjoyable evening. That’s what “The Date” has to offer: a cute, lesbian dating story. Short, sweet, with a dash of romance, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this queer short film from Emmalie El Fadli. Let’s break down what makes it so…
