Hideous, and Proud!

This was SUCH a good LGBTQ short film!

Part drama.

Part horror.

Part camp.

All parts musical.

(And some great music, at that)!

In just 22 minutes, so much is cleverly conveyed about the main character through the dialogue, the lyrics of the songs, the excellent acting (MAJOR kudos to Oliver Sim!), and the various settings that the movie morphs and melds into. The music will have you tapping your feet, and the makeup SFX is chef's kiss.

As a gay man, I could relate to quite a lot in this film. PLEASE watch it, especially if you're from the LGBTQ community. It's a quick watch that conveys so much!
