Out On Film is excited to present four of the year’s best dramatic short films. Ashlyn's inability to accept herself keeps her from pursuing her biggest dream—acting. Sister Wives is a multi-layered love story that tells the tale of young women living in 2003 within a strict, fundamentalist, polygamous society in Utah: Kaidence and Galilee find themselves bound to one another, under the same roof, in the same marriage, as they develop scary, new, exciting feelings for each other. A Honduran immigrant is given the chance to meet her mother after nearly two decades of separation. Finally, two former college teammates, after 20 years of estrangement, find themselves summoned to their late friend's estate hearing. To claim their inheritance, they must first confront their past relationship while undergoing a polygraph test.
In the heart of Lexington, Kentucky, Pastor Max Palmer (Chanchez), a respected community leader, finds himself at a pivotal moment in his life as he navigates a difficult divorce. The past comes flooding back when Paul (Wechsler), his former college teammate and estranged friend, returns to town for a memorial service after two decades of separation. Their reunion is driven by the unexpected conditions of their late friend Jim's (Okumu) will, which require them to confront their unresolved issues. To claim their inheritance, Max and Paul must face the truth about their past relationship while connected to polygraph machines, forcing them to reconcile or walk away empty-handed.
