Hope

Girlfriends

The Curse
An eager young man goes to a Halloween party for a hookup, when a witch's curse convinces him that he wants something more.
Like Glass
Zion has recently discovered the world of drag queens and club kids - they get decked out in elaborate looks and go to NYC's most exciting nightlife venues to drink, dance, and celebrate life. This is paradise for these performers and personas, but when the morning comes, Zion lives an entirely different life - working temp office jobs, and living with their very heteronormative boyfriend, Luke. Luke views this avant-garde side of Zion's life as a reckless extracurricular activity.
Deviant
In the early sixties, a sexually conflicted teenager finds faith and acceptance after escaping the tortures of electrotherapeutic conversion therapy.
Talent Night at Auschwitz: Bunk 5
A 14-year-old boy escapes from modern and historical traumas to a glittering, musical dreamworld.
ruok
