Great Canyon is a live-action / animated hybrid which chronicles a queer first date through the lens of the anxieties and insecurities that exude from the main character. The morning after hooking up, two recent college grads wrestle with their feelings for each other while a strange and inexplicable phenomenon creeps up in the background. In a chance encounter on Grindr, a reclusive barman at an Arkansas line-dancing bar connects with a charismatic Hollywood actor; the sheer force of their chemistry pushes him to question the isolated life he has built for himself. Gay and lonely, Lloyd is on a shame-fuelled, Grindr-addicted spiral into tragedy. Skin is a poetic exploration of identity and self-discovery, using visual symbolism to depict a woman's transformation into a man.

The morning after hooking up at an end-of-the-semester party, recent college grads Petey (gay) and Zach (straight) wake up with the same unnameable sense of deep-stomach dread. While both young men separately and manically wrestle with their feelings for each other, something ominous and inexplicable creeps up around the peripheries of their personal drama. Facetious, passionate, and weird, At Lucy’s Last Night queers the typical morning-after narrative by infusing it with hints of poetry, highlighting the tension between our inner worlds versus the outer world.
