INDY DANG' film:
INFLUENCE - Sixteen-year-old Cal, a high-achieving student struggling with his identity, begins to explore rebellion after his older brother makes a sudden return home.
GROWING PAINS - Moe, an introverted teenager with cancer, navigates adolescence after receiving a terminal diagnosis.
BRANDON ENGLISH'S "BAKLA" - Brandon, a queer Filipino-American grandson, meditates through his anxiety of having to call and wish his grandmother Happy Birthday. Bakla is an Official Selection of NewFilmmakers Los Angeles, Vancouver Queer Film Festival, Scottish Queer International Film Festival, CinemQ, and many more!
KEVIN NGUYEN'S "BLUE SUIT" - John is a hopeless romantic with a mission to confess his feelings for his friend, Henry. However, Henry moves away the next day and a surprise going away party foils John's plans. Growing more anxious as the night progresses, John desperately tries to find alone time with Henry amidst all the unfamiliar faces competing for his attention. Between the deafening laughter, offhanded comments, and quiet sobbing, John is left wondering how and if he can still make his feelings known before the night is over.
