Shorts Set: Hooking Up
SFH 11 min. Lawrence has to salvage the evening after his would-be hook-up shows up at the bar already drunk, with no ID, and blood on his face.
Some Kind of Paradise 21 min. In a chance encounter on Grindr, a reclusive barman at an Arkansas line-dancing bar connects with a charismatic Hollywood actor. The sheer force of their chemistry pushes him to question the isolated life he has built for himself- and embrace the transformative power of intimacy and vulnerability.
Stay 22 min. Starring Canada's Drag Race legend Kendall Gender, STAY is a tender exploration of relationships. Kaleb (Ivy Diamonds) meets Vancouver artist Ryan on his final night in town. In their brief encounter, Kaleb gains unexpected clarity before returning to his tumultuous relationship.
STEAM 30 min. A middle-aged man, fatigued by the monotony of his life and disenchanted with romantic relationships, resigns himself to never again experiencing deep, genuine affection. Seeking reprieve, he enters a men’s sauna—a realm where myriad chance encounters unfold each day.
THE CAPTIVE 15 min. Simon invites a persistent young man, Dennis, to his apartment for a casual hook-up. What starts as a seemingly innocent encounter soon develops into a tense baiting game, where every more and gesture is fraught with hidden agendas and ulterior motives, blurring the boundaries between desire and manipulation.
The Kiss 15 min. After thirty years, two friends meet by chance, dusting off their past and dealing with their feelings for each other.
TOTAL TIME: 114 min.
