Lesbian Ditch Day starts as a rom-com-y, coming-of-age tale of two high school lesbians playing hooky, but through a fourth wall break, the film reveals itself to be just another queerbaiting tragedy.

Director’s bio

Olivia Cade (she/her) is a performer/filmmaker/director whose work centres on community, queerness, and mental health advocacy. She wrote and starred in the film Give It To Me (Outfest ‘23, Atlanta Film Fest ‘23) which explored the connection between kink and the healing of trauma. Olivia has also collaborated on many femme-led creative teams as an assistant director, most notably on Beach Logs Kill (SXSW ‘24) and Pathological (Sundance ‘24).

Mae Lesbian Ditch Day yn dechrau fel stori gomedi-ramantus, dod i oed, am ddwy lesbiad ysgol uwchradd sy’n chwarae triwant, ond trwy dorri’r pedwerydd wal, mae'r ffilm yn datgelu ei hun i fod yn drasiedi pryfoclyd arall.
