They can try to fit us into a box, but we have never been defined by just one thing. From comedy to horror, mermaids to werewolves, to a magical love story across the world, these films break the rules and are Queering worlds entirely of their own.

Minutes before a dream job interview, high-strung Winona turns to 'ornithomancy', the ancient art of reading omens from birds, to guide his life choices. Determining that a bird flying left means 'no' and flying right as 'yes'.


While phone calls from his boyfriend, family, and roommate collide with his spiraling anxiety, Winona’s reality begins to unravel in absurd and surreal ways. As Winona’s ability to make impulsive decisions through bird watching becomes more erratic and unreliable, his carefully rehearsed professionalism implodes; forcing him into a morbid interview with fate, identity, and the performance of success itself.
