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


    A completely new version of Wade Radford’s 2017 feature film ‘Caught in a Landslide’, the new short ‘Landslide’ reimagines the original footage through only visuals, poetry & music.

    Jay drifts in and out of a Valium daze remembering his lost love. Through tormenting visions of places traversed, and encounters with the presence of his former lover, he begins to lose a grip on what is reality, and what is not!

    Completely remapping the original film, ‘Landslide’ is an alternate mediative short film version on his original poetical fantasy, one based on the process of addiction, grief and rebirth!
