This terrific set of animated films has a little bit of everything—including two young men training to be Olympic divers, a transitioning pirate, a night in a queer bar in Paris, a mother wanting the best for her son, and a mysterious neighborhood fox.&nbsp;

At the Baltic Sea, Tuan and Felix discover their love for water as young children. They soon become divers, as this allows them to spend their hours after school together at the indoor swimming pool. However, when they face each other at the Olympics, their athletic future is at stake. But when Felix unexpectedly suffers a serious injury, Tuan - despite the immense pressure to win the gold medal - decides for his partner.

High Diver

Professional sport is a harsh business, and Tuan will sacrifice everything for it ... or will he?

Having washed ashore after a shipwreck, a young pirate meets a curious mermaid. They help each other grow as the pirate teaches the mermaid how to be a swashbuckler, and the mermaid teaches the pirate how to be themself. But conflict arises when the pirate's crew comes back searching for them. The Little Piratemaid was Luke Beatrice's senior thesis project at Lesley University. The original, super short version was released in film festivals in 2023. After the project won several awards, Luke made the full, extended version (twice the length of the original) without the confines of a school project. The new short will be submitted to film festivals over the course of 2024.

The Little Piratemaid

The Little Piratemaid is about what it takes to discover yourself as a trans person in a cis-normative world--even if that world is one of pirates and mermaids!

Grand Dandy is a special film based on the poem “For Ezra” about the real life experience of non-binary author Libro Levi Bridgeman and their love letter to their grandson, Ezra. The film follows the playful and tender moments of their daily routines as a queer grandparent with their grandson. And while it captures slices of their everyday life, it also explores the question, how to tell a child you are queer and non-binary? This film also highlights the importance that the common bond of any child with a queer relative is the same and endearing as any family.
