Find You – Dozzy, Baycun, and Thatco / US / 2019 / 4 min

Find You is about searching for an identity that feels impossible to reach because of the prison that is a human body. It is about wishing for transcendence to the truth of what the mind perceives itself to be, which is not of this world, but of the world of TV shows,movies, games, and art that represent the inner soul.


Rukus – Brett Hanover / US / 2018 / 87 min 

Rukus is a queer coming-of-age movie set in the liminal spaces of furry conventions, southern punk houses, and virtual worlds. Rukus is a 20-year-old furry artist, living with his boyfriend Sable in the suburbs of Orlando, Florida. In his sketchbooks, Rukus is constructing an imaginary universe – a graphic novel in which painful childhood memories are restaged as an epic fantasy. Brett is a 16-year-old filmmaker with OCD, making documentaries about kinky subcultures despite his own anxiety. After an interview leads to an online friendship, their lives entwine in ways that push them into strange, unexplored territories.
