2020 has certainly been a whirlwind and this series of narrative shorts tackle these trying times from every wild angle. Whether it's bureaucratic bullsh*t or failed systems of justice, these films look at the comedic chaos and rabid fury of how we live now.


This virtual screening includes a pre-recorded Q&A, which will follow the short films.

And to Lodestar, Winner of the Audience Award for Narrative Short Film!
