Freddie Mercury: Love Me Like There’s No Tomorrow

The love story of two anthropomorphised white blood cells, one of whom becomes infected with the AIDS virus. Animators Esteban Bravo and Beth David said of making this short film, “We wanted to tell a story that was relevant to Freddie's life, but not explicitly about him. The AIDS crisis of the 1980s is a huge part of LGBT+ history, and it's something that we knew needed to be handled with care. It's a fine line to walk between shedding light on a subject, and perpetuating a stigma, and we were cautious not to lean into tropes and stereotypes that might hurt the modern understanding of the AIDS virus, rather than help it."

Or the Cuco Will Come and Eat You

"Go to sleep child, go to sleep now, or the Cuco will come and eat you" cautiously warn parents to their children so they go to sleep on time and behave. "El Cuco" is about the faceless, folkloric monster of Latin American, Spanish and Portuguese cultures that scares disobedient children. Inspired by the aesthetics of old horror movies, it's shot entirely on 16mm black and white film. The Cuco doesn't look a certain way, and it's known by other names depending on the country. Every child who hears the lore imagines it differently so that's why it looks each time it appears on screen.

Lorenzo Delgado, Private Investigator

Lorenzo Delgado is a former police officer who, after being fired, becomes a private investigator, the tough kind straight out of film noir. He dresses in a suit, uses a magnifying glass, and smokes cigarettes like there's no tomorrow. He hates chases, doesn't trust cops or butlers, and is convinced that the world needs an iron hand to deliver justice—he thinks of himself as that hand. Lorenzo is being stalked by an organization conspiring against him while he tries to solve his cases.

When Judith Met Theo

An animated short comedy/satire in B-movie style. It is a comment on the treatment of lesbians in film, and in a broader sense, the intolerance towards gays-lesbians-bisexuals in mainstream society. The film follows Judith as she discovers she is gay. She turns to popular films at her local video store to educate her about what it means to be a lesbian. What she discovers horrifies her. She is distraught to find out (as the movies she takes home to watch imply) that if she loves women she must also, by default, be a killer. Luckily she meets Theo who helps save the day. The film references murder scenes from actual key feature films from the 1990s.
