Agency
By Nathaniel Hanula-James
Directed by Mariló Núñez
In the heady days of 2019, a queer-owned ad agency strives to make a pride campaign for a meal kit company. But the client is capricious; the office is awash in romance and rivalry; and as for the janitor… That’s a whole other story. Agency is a chaotic screwball comedy for our precarious times.

Cleo
Written and Directed by Makram Ayache
You think you know the story of Egypt’s favorite queen, Cleopatra? In Cleo, Cleo is an 18 year old Egyptian transfer student at Actium High, a private school in North America. Enemies are made, alliances are tested, and the battle between Cleo and Octavia for Student Union President becomes an all out war in this dramedy about the struggle for love and power.
