Short-film about wanting to be noticed.

This short film takes place one frantic night as a beautiful young sex worker waits for her salesman lover to whisk her away from her last night on the strip to live happily ever after. But it’s 1975 and she’s a Māori drag queen. And he’s not the ‘white knight’ he said he was.

The passing of a once-in-a-century comet affects a group of disparate characters in New Zealand.

A short film that tells the story of Angelo – a queer youth who works as a shoeshiner in the streets of La Paz, Bolivia. Composed of brief shots that offer us a fragmentary and powerful portrait of the city, narrated in first person and interspersed with magic visions of saints, the film depicts Angelo’s mythologising of his own story in order to survive the harshness of everyday reality.
