FILMS:
1. SWITCH
Canada | 1 min | Director Max Machado
Nick is reading in bed late at night. His night lamp flickers in a strange way. He turns the lamp off, only to turn it back on and find himself in another room. That’s just the start of a long and weird night.
2. EVERYBODY DOES IT
USA | 11 min | Director Megan Brotherton
Claire’s therapist challenges her to take her sexuality into her own hands--literally, which for Claire proves to be a difficult task. Will she conquer her embarrassment, shame, and the enormous dildo she inadvertently shoplifted? Her journey is equally hilarious and moving.
3. METUBE 2 - AUGUST SINGS CARMINA BURANA

A second look at love at first sight...
