Director: Michael Morgenstern
Ryan struggles to find meaning in his provisional existence, exploring sex and death and the idea of ‘becoming something.’ This surreal film, enveloped in a classical string quartet piece, is a rumination on death, time, and the nature of existence. It posits the idea of a human life as a static, four-dimensional entity that exists at a specific moment in time and cannot be said to truly begin or end.

In this beautifully shot, wordless scenario, a young man returns from the gym and undresses with a quiet, existential air.
Director: Robert Hawk

Jacob Gordon can’t catch a break. A struggling actor with a personal life to match. His epic streak of bad luck just might change when he’s cast in a Broadway musical; “The Ice Queen”, opposite stage and screen royalty Veronica Bailey.

An experimental narrative short that navigates manhood through the queer male lens. As a sexual assault survivor, I’ve had a turbulent time understanding love, sex, and men post-rape. This film is my way of syphoning out my issues with my sexuality and my relationship with myself. Not being able to relate to other men, let alone talk about it has made me turn my flashbacks, my suicidal thoughts, and my rage into visual poems. “The B-Sides” looks at the other side of the rape culture coin and explores manhood through vulnerability and sensitivity. In exhibiting the emotionality of manhood, “The B-Sides” denounces the normalization of toxic masculinity.
