Local Queer Short Form Content to Watch
With Pride month coming to an end, we found ourselves reflecting on how supporting our queer communities is more than a month long endeavor. We've put together a list of local festival darlings, "unsettling" shorts, charming mockumentary web-series, & upcoming projects to celebrate these voices and fill our collective cues even as June ends.
[This is not intended as an exhaustive resource and the work being depicted is sometimes more traditional and in others, more abstract.]
