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.

A woman wakes up to find her facial skin peeling off, terrified of what's underneath. Seeking answers, she looks into a mirror. Simultaneously, a parallel world within the mirror is unveiled, representing what is about to emerge within her—a part of herself she has long ignored, frozen in ice and snow. In this ice realm, a man wakes up. As her fear of what lies behind her skin grows, this world begins to melt and come to life. Through the mirror, the ice man guides her, assisting in her transformation, shedding her old skin, and uncovering her true identity.
