    Young Emily didn’t see anything wrong with her drawing of two girls holding hands, but her mother saw otherwise and tore both the paper and her child’s heart in two. Little did they know, the drawings had come alive and are determined to reunite with one another across the vast bedroom of pages, no matter what risk comes their way. An adventurous and heartwarming tale, “Drawn to You” shows audiences both the struggles and joy that comes with being true to your heart, and not letting others tell you who to be.

    May 8, 2025 / No Comments

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


    SHATTERED is a psychological short film that exposes the kind of abuse no one talks about — the kind that hides behind sweet words, fake smiles, and well-crafted lies.

    This is not your typical breakup story. It’s about emotional manipulation, physical abuse, gaslighting, and the slow unraveling of identity when love becomes control.
