Japanese Sandman - A visual interpretation of a letter William S. Burroughs wrote in 1953 to Allen Ginsberg. Told through Burroughs' incisive voice, cocaine snorting in Panama and post-prom handjobs become a meditation on loss, memory and the human condition. (12 min) |
| U-Haul Rap - What does a lesbian bring on a second date? A U-Haul. This comedic musical romp will make you want to rent that U-Haul all over again. (5 min) |

Mississippi Queen - Growing up a good Southern Baptist girl, director/narrator Paige Williams learned to love God, first, and then her family. However, her senior year in high school would lead to a relationship with a girl. Over ten years later, Paige returns home to confront and attempt to understand her parents who now run Mississippi’s only ex-gay ministry.
Perhaps what makes this film most unique is that Paige never takes the easy road of putting down the fundamentalists and ex-gays she meets. She approaches all with a sincere attempt to understand, build family, and love, a very Christian attitude.
