This short film program includes the following films:
Buttery Top
A loaf of bread translates into many possible futures for these women on their first date.Appears in: Women's Short Films
Door Prize
This is the story of a two-spirit, Butch-Boi lesbian for whom public restrooms are always an adventure. A Restaurant. A tie. A line at the ladies room. Peeing should never be so problematic.
Jew Lo From the Block
A short film that is a colorful parody of the pop song and video by Jennifer Lopez. While Lopez belts out that although glittering with fame, she will always be a humble product of her South Bronx upbringing, the concept for Jew Lo emerged when Brynn Gelbard, the director, was not allowed to have her domestic partner of seven years stand by her side in family photos at her brother's wedding. Raised on Long Island in a Jewish family (just like her alter ego, Jew Lo) Gelbard humorously ensures that no closet door will ever be closed on her again!

Kelly's friends are dying to know about her hot date, but she isn't talking. In between classes, Kelly pulls her friend Jordan into the bathroom and tells her. But they aren't the only ones who know the secret!… More info

Evelyn Everyone
Eve is 33, single and searching for love online. Along the way she might just find herself.
How the Grinch Stole My Heart (And My Favorite Sweatshirt).
How the Grinch Stole My Heart (And My Favorite Sweatshirt) borrows Dr. Seuss' famous villain, the Grinch, and transforms him from Whoville's mythical Christmas hating goblin into a modern-day ex-girlfriend who breaks Abigail's heart. Crushed by her loss, Abigail falls into a world of lovelorn misery, obsession, internet stalking and self-medicating. But finally, Abigail is struck by a sense of renewed self-worth, and triumphs over her love for the Grinch...or does she?
