6 films in package

Breathe

A lyrical coming of age film which follows two schoolfriends from childhood to young adulthood, as their friendship matures into something more romantic.

Fervor

Tomás, a gay teenager from a small beach town in Chile, experiences burgeoning first love through his pop-music-fuelled daydreams.

Beautiful They

Violet and Blue's youth collide in an afternoon toke which leads to the ocean, where a connection stirs. A tender, visually charged and uplifting Queer surf-romance about the nuances of gender and the refuge found in being truly seen.

Tank Fairy

The magical Tank Fairy delivers her gas tanks unlike any other - with sass, stilettos and a healthy helping of glitter. Her arrival upends the life of Jojo, a lonely ten-year-old who dreams of dancing and drag. Outcast by classmates and misunderstood by his stern, single mom, Jojo is inspired to live out loud by his fierce, propane-toting fairy godmother.

Thot or Not

Why is it that one influencer is considered “effortless, sexy and inspiring” while his boyfriend, who presents a virtually identical feed, is perceived as “cringey”? ‘Thot or Not’ is a witty take on modern influencer culture and the latest animated micro-short film from illustrator Dylan Glynn.
