Luca & Finn | My shortfilm about internalized homophobia

2 Upvotes

(Admins please let me know if this isn't allowed)

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Luca & Finn. It's a queer coming-of-age short film that I wrote based on my own experiences, with inspiration from Young Hearts.

The story follows a teenager who's trying to figure out his feelings and come to terms with who he is. One of the biggest things I wanted to explore with this film is how accepting yourself can sometimes be harder than getting other people to accept you.

I know a lot of us love films like Young Hearts and Close because of the beautiful storytelling they have, and that's something I wanted to bring into this project as well.

We're currently working on bringing the film to life, and we just launched our Indiegogo campaign! I figured this might be a community that would connect with the story.

If anyone wants to check it out, I'll leave our Instagram and Indiegogo below. Even just following along or sharing the project would mean a lot.

Thanks for taking a look! ❤️

Upcoming Queer British feature film

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share the insta for a queer feature film I'm producing, shooting in the UK next Spring 2027 😀

Newly released from prison and grieving his mother, Griffyn tentatively falls for his cute, new co-worker, but when the controlling lover who protected him inside turns up on the run, he must choose between the man who owns his past and the one who might offer him a future.

We'll be sharing the behind-the-scenes of bringing this independent micro-budget film to life, so I'd be grateful if you could give us a follow 🌊

Help me fund my film “comp-het”

3 Upvotes

Our film is called "Comp-het" and it is a film about two people, Ona and Vivian and their navigation through a relationship together, from their good moments to their hardships and how they effect one another. It is about how Ona's sexuality changes and how it doesn't, and how our expectations can change a good thing.

The film is created and directed by Jesus Valdez, and Jesus will be making the project from start to finish a masterpiece! Additional crew consists of Aidan Beckstead and Josh Shudde, who will be assisting Jesus in creating the best version of this film!

We appreciate you stopping to read and see how our film comes along! We really hope you can help us out with this GoFundMe, and hope that you enjoy our film when it finishes later this year!

Discussion Input on my queer short film that came out today??

Thumbnail youtu.be
9 Upvotes

I’m a student filmmaker, and I just released my short film FLUTTER!!!
I learned so much from this project. I submitted it to festivals but unfortunately wasn’t accepted into any of them, so I decided to release it publicly and let the film find its audience online instead.
Flutter is a lesbian romance that explores modern hookup culture, intimacy, and what happens when you want something deeper than a casual connection.
I’d genuinely love to hear what you think, especially from other filmmakers, film students, or anyone who connects with the subject matter.
Thanks for giving a student filmmaker a chance. ❤️

Suggestion Only Good Things - Apenas Boas Coisas (2025)

Post image
11 Upvotes

A lonely rancher from rural Brasil meets a bohemian biker after an accident leaves him unconscious by a road in the middle of nowhere.

Some people have called it "Brazilian Brokeback Mountain", I believe it's so much more than that.

Breath-taking cinematography, highly stylized aesthetic, and a great story.

It portrays rural Goiás (the Director's homeplace) through a familiar, almost nostalgic way. Immersive, it sucks you in through shots of green hills, Eucalyptus woods, the sounds of birds and other animals.

Only Good Things chooses to quickly switch from comfortable, cozy scenes to heart-racing scenes packed with action and tension.

Personally, found it deeply moving, had me thinking about it and what it made me feel for days.

Warnings: blood, NSFW

Highly recommend looking at other films from Daniel Nolasco.

In case you can't find it in streaming services, I'll leave a drive link.

homebodies

5 Upvotes

so in April (2026) ish time there was a trans lead Australian mini series (can also be watched as a film) called Homebodies.

i thoroughly enjoyed it as a trans man and wanted to give more love and credit to it by listening to the soundtrack/background music played in the film, but to no luck i found any of it.

does anyone know any of the songs from it?? it would be really relieving for me and i could compile the songs on a music platform for everyone to enjoy. thank you !!!

Honestly I am just really happy with how I got the background/thumbnail to come out and wanted to share. The episode came out really great too even if I needed to edit a good chunk because this movie left me and my co-host pretty raw emotionally. If you want to listen I will leave some links

WATCH: Size Queen. A queer Sex and the City.

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Size Queen is a proof-of-concept for a TV series I hope to keep making. I didn’t go to film school. I just got tired of waiting for permission and decided to tell stories that feel real to me and my friends.

Growing up, I rarely saw queer characters living fun, messy, authentic everyday lives on screen. This isn’t a coming out story or a tragedy,  it’s about friendship, dating, sex, ambition, and navigating life in Los Angeles as gay men in our 30s.

If you have a minute to watch and leave a review on Filmio, it would genuinely help our chances of getting into festivals like HollyShorts and help independent queer stories like this get seen. Thank you ❤️
