    FLICKer: Fan Letter

    April 16, 2026 / No Comments

    Featuring LGBT short films I found around the interwebz a.k.a Youtube. Okay sucky intro, but yeah, that’s it.


    He was the biggest star of the 1950s. But before every show, he was just Rick — a lonely man still in love with the boy he left behind. When a fan letter arrives with a familiar handwriting, everything comes flooding back. One phone call. One last chance. One impossible choice.

    FAN LETTER is a gay short film about the price of fame, forbidden love, and the songs we sing for the ones we’ve lost. Set in the 1950s, this LGBTQ short film explores what happens when a closeted celebrity reconnects with his secret first love before a hometown concert. A heartbreaking queer love story about identity, sacrifice, and the life you leave behind when you chase stardom.

    This emotional period drama asks: what is fame worth if the only person you love can never know the songs are about them?
